Shaun O'Connor, known as "Chop-Off," was sentenced to two years in prison for a string of offenses, including sexual assault, exposure, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

O'Connor, 40, targeted female customers at the Darlington post office on September 7, 2022. He grabbed one woman's buttocks, put both arms around her, gyrated against her, and made a sexual remark. When asked to leave, he approached another woman, exposed himself, and grabbed her top.

Following his arrest, O'Connor performed a sex act in front of a police officer from his cell at Darlington police station. He also admitted to assaulting a hotel staff member on August 18, grabbing her by the throat and attempting to kiss her. He then slapped another woman on the bottom as he left.

On July 27, O'Connor punched a man outside the Greyhound Pub, causing him to fall into a stationary car. He then dragged the unconscious man back onto the pavement, leaving him with a head laceration. In court, O'Connor claimed he had "saved" the man.

O'Connor pleaded guilty to all charges and told the court he had been sexually attacked as a teenager. He apologized for his behavior.

Judge Howard Crowson sentenced O'Connor to two years in prison and placed him on the sex offenders' register for 10 years.
