Violent Offender Jailed After Family Intervention
A Portland husband and father has been jailed for tormenting his family for six months, after his wife and three sons overpowered him.
The man, who cannot be named, pleaded guilty to family violence-related offences in the Portland Magistrates' Court on October 14, 2025.
He had previously faced court for breaking his wife's ribs and had served 109 days in pre-sentence detention, with the court considering him a high risk of re-offending.
Despite this, the court found him suitable for a community correction order (CCO) with judicial monitoring, in addition to time served.
The man's lawyer submitted that time served and the CCO was an appropriate sentence.
The man's sentence reflects the severity of his crimes and the need to protect his family.
