SWINDON Supermarine’s goalkeeper has been jailed for more than a year after a man was left with a broken jaw in an unprovoked attack.
Kent Kauppinen, who once won an award from Wiltshire police, then assaulted the victim’s girlfriend during the incident on New Year’s Day last year.
Hours later he went out in his car with pal Aaron Tinson, who had taken part in the first incident, and assaulted another stranger.
The 20-year-old former cage fighter and Tinson, 19, had been out drinking seeing in the New Year when they saw a couple on Lowden Hill, in Chippenham, Swindon Crown Court heard.
Mark Taylor and Florence Espeutt-Nickless were talking to each other as they made their way home when Kauppinen approached and was verbally aggressive.
Mr Taylor tried to calm the situation but was punched by one of the men, fracturing his jaw in two places. Both men blamed each other for the punch.
Miss Espeutt-Nickless slapped Kauppinen as the pair attacked her boyfriend and he then twice swept her feet from under her, sending her to the ground.
On the first occasion he pinned her down with a knee on her chest and the second time to her sternum, leaving her bruised. The young thugs left the scene and went to Kauppinen’s home, but a few hours later were back out in his car.
One of them shouted some abuse at a couple saying to the woman: ‘You are a slut, look at the length of your skirt’.
When her boyfriend Jake Vincent shouted back ‘What did you say?’ the car stopped and the two youths got out. As they approached the victim his girlfriend got between them but Tinson punched Mr Vincent to the face over her shoulder leaving him with a badly cut cheek.
The pair pleaded not guilty to grievous bodily harm with intent in relation to Mr Taylor, blaming each other, but were convicted following a trial of the lesser charge of GBH. They also both denied actual bodily harm to Miss Espeutt-Nickless, but Kauppinen was convicted and Tinson found not guilty. Tinson admitted GBH on Mr Vincent.
Marcus Davey, defending Kauppinen, of London Road, Chippenham, said his client was just 19 at the time of the incident, had a good work ethic and was sorry for what he had done.
He said he was a semi-professional footballer have previously been on the books of Liverpool and Bristol Rovers, and hoped to return to the professional game.
