Photo: SceneA Queenstown bouncer whose girlfriend caught him watching porn has narrowly lost his appeal over a resulting violence conviction. Jacob Mitchell Cummings (24) put his girlfriend in a headlock after she tried to grab his phone while he was having “private time”. He was convicted of male assaults female but took his case all the way to the Court of Appeal, believing there had been a miscarriage of justice. But in the initial stages, she had not tried to hit him and had already relinquished possession of the phone when he restrained her. But the appeal was dismissed and the male assaults female conviction stands.
