Rhyl man jailed for 18 weeks over restraining order breach

Peter Carlo Diparno, 44, of East Parade in Rhyl, found himself back in the dock this week after breaking the terms of a restraining order that specifically forbade him from making any contact with a female living in Prestatyn.

The restraining order had originally been imposed on Diparno following a trial at Mold Crown Court last June. Despite the clear prohibition, he breached the order, leading to his arrest by North Wales Police officers on 6 January.

Diparno appeared before Llandudno Magistrates’ Court via custodial video link on Wednesday, 14 January, where he entered a guilty plea to the breach. The court immediately handed down an 18-week prison sentence.

North Wales Police Denbighshire Coastal and Abergele confirmed the case in a statement, explaining that the restraining order “prohibited Diparno from contacting a female residing in the Prestatyn area” and had been put in place following his previous court appearance.
