James English Convicted of Domestic Abuse After 12-Day Glasgow Trial
Sheriff Hall found six of 19 allegations proven after a 12-day trial, and sentencing was deferred until next month.
- Scottish podcaster James English was convicted of domestic abuse at Glasgow Sheriff Court following a 12-day trial. He was found guilty of six of 19 allegations involving his former partner between July 2022 and November 2023.
- English, who starred in the reality show Glow, met the woman via Instagram in July 2022. Sheriff David Hall noted the relationship was 'on-off' and 'destined to fail,' with their initial connection described as 'nice at first.'
- Violent incidents presented as evidence included English kicking the woman off a bed and grabbing her by the throat. During one assault while she was pregnant, he pressed his thumbs into her eyebrows, causing 'redness' as a result.
- The trial featured threatening messages, including one where English stated, 'You are lucky I never f***ing battered you.' Defense solicitor Calum Weir argued the Crown's case 'fell short' of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
- Sheriff Hall, who considered the victim 'credible and reliable,' is satisfied it is appropriate to convict of parts of the charge. Sentencing is deferred pending background reports until next month, and English's bail was continued.
