English man jailed for glass assault on woman

An English man who smashed a glass into a woman’s face because an expected “romantic engagement” did not happen has been sentenced to four years with the final 18 months suspended.

Ms Natalya Albanova (then 49) was left with permanent scarring and nerve damage to the left side of her face that “will last her to her dying day”. She continues to suffer from depression as a result and cannot undergo any plastic surgery because of the nerve damage.
