Seaman fined for assaulting wife over text message

…as spouse forgives him

After being beaten by her husband over a suspicious text message, a 35-year-old woman begged for her husband to be pardoned based on his promise to attend counseling sessions.
Yesterday, Keith Azore was fined $5,000 after an assault charge was read to him by Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
The court heard that on August 10 at Lot 94 East La Penitence, Georgetown, the defendant assaulted Christine Azore.
Police Prosecutor Deniro Jones told the court that the two persons reside at the aforementioned address and have three children. The complainant on the day in question perused her husband’s cell phone and came across a text message. After reading it, she confronted the defendant to provide her with a plausible explanation as to why he was texting another woman in such a manner.
The man became annoyed and went to sit on a chair in their living room where he ignored the victim as she continued to quarrel. She then tried to sit on his lap, but he pushed her to the floor, slapped her and dealt her several punches to the body. The matter was reported at the East La Penitence Police Station and Keith Azore was subsequently arrested and charged.
The 38-year-old seaman, who pleaded guilty, explained, “Your Worship, I had a friend that committed suicide and I was texting a woman who knows about it and she was consoling me. I never meant to hit my wife. I am sorry.”
The complainant then appealed to the court for her husband to be released.
“Your Worship I want the matter to end. I forgive him. We together for 18 years… I would like to give him a chance. He promise me this time that we will go for counseling and I have been asking for us to go for a long time because lately we have been arguing a lot.”
Upon hearing her pleas, the Magistrate then fined the defendant and placed the couple on a bond to keep the peace for 12 months.
