A Peel man will be sentenced next month after being found guilty of assaulting a woman.
Martyn Arthur Faid of Carmane Close was due to appear before Deputy High Bailiff Christopher Arrowsmith for sentencing, but was excused attendance because of coronavirus restrictions.
The 34 year old had denied the offence, which happened on July 7 last year, but was convicted after a trial.
Mr Arrowsmith bailed him to appear in court again on May 6.
