Comments made to woman in a Leeds nightclub about a pending court case almost landed a man behind bars.
Willem Manuel admitted telling the female, whom he knew, that he did not believe her account involving a serious allegation she has made that could go to trial. But the 23-year-old said it was the 'biggest regret of his life' after he pleaded guilty to a charge of intimidating a witness. Leeds Crown Court heard that Manuel had been in Fibre on Lower Briggate on May 20 last year when he saw the woman.
It's the biggest regret of my life. I have since stopped drinking and I'm trying to better myself. It was a mistake. I was not aware how serious it was.' Judge Christopher Batty warned him how seriously the courts take such offences. He told him: 'It was unpleasant, but limited in its scope and duration. You were not looking for her but it had quite an impact on her.
