Jack Shepherd, who was previously jailed for the manslaughter of Charlotte Brown following a fatal speedboat accident, has been sentenced to 20 months in prison for assaulting a woman. The assaults occurred in February and June 2025. In the first incident, Shepherd admitted to pinning down the woman and punching her several times, causing bruising to her arm and the top of her leg. In the second incident, he hit her with barbecue tongs on her left breast, resulting in a permanent scar. These actions led to Shepherd's recall to prison in September 2025. Judge Martin Edmunds noted that the law prevented him from adding any further time to Shepherd's existing sentence for manslaughter, which is set to conclude in January 2029. Shepherd was originally convicted of manslaughter by gross negligence in 2018 after Ms Brown died when his speedboat crashed on the River Thames. He had been on the run in Georgia before being extradited back to the UK.
