A PONTARDAWE man has been given a 12-month conditional discharge after pleading guilty to two assault charges.
Eifion Rees Morgan, of 3 James Street, admitted assaulting relatives Linda and James Morgan at Bryn Onnen, Pontar-dawe on July 30 of last year.
Neath magistrates gave the 44-year-old two conditional discharges and ordered him to pay £150 costs, but failed to award the victims any compensation.
"The bench does not award compensation as they feel by doing so, it would exacerbate an already difficult situation within the family."
