A man who sexually assaulted a woman before slapping her so hard that she needed £360 of dental work has been sentenced to 24 weeks behind bars.

Mohamed El Ghalouri, 57, of Lynch's Lane, pleaded guilty to Sexual Assault and Common Assault, and was sentenced in Gibraltar Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.

The court heard that at around 8.15pm on Wednesday 3 November 2021, the victim approached El Ghalouri in a bar, because she thought she recognised him. After realising that he wasn't who she thought he was, she returned to the bar but shortly afterwards he approached her from behind and grabbed her breast. After an argument, El Ghalouri then slapped the woman three times across the face, knocking three of her dental crowns out.

The RGP were called and placed him under arrest. The sentence was for the Sexual Assault. No penalty was imposed for the Common Assault.
