A man who was found guilty of repeatedly smashing his then-girlfriend’s head into a wall at their Byron Bay hotel because another man bought her drinks has been acquitted of the crime.
Aaron Logue, 40, was convicted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm in Byron Bay Local Court on December 20 last year, despite denying the charge and arguing he had been set up.
Logue denied hitting on the sister. For the assault, he was sentenced to a two year community correction order and fined $2000.But today, he succeeded in appealing his conviction at Lismore District Court after a judge questioned the credibility of his ex-girlfriend’s account before the hearing. The 40-year-old was away with his then-partner and her sister on the night in question. Picture: Facebook
