He faced Southport Magistrates Court and pleaded guilty to two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm.
His defence lawyer told the court that Jones felt “remorseful, shameful and embarrassed” and had been to counselling.

Jones was sentenced to 15 months in jail, but was granted immediate parole.
Both victims were awarded $2000 in compensation, to be paid by Jones.
