As part of the conditional sentencing, Jewkes is required to serve 30 days of house arrest, followed by 30 days of curfew from 12 a.m. to 6 a.m.
When asked if he had anything to say, Jewkes took the opportunity to inform the courtroom that he regretted his actions..
“I would like to apologize to everyone who was involved in this whole situation,” said Jewkes.
Jewkes  will then serve 18 months probation with reporting and conditons due to a previous assault he had on the same woman at a Dooly’s bar in Amherst on Sept. 12.
He was also charged with a second assault along with public disturbance,  two charges of resisting arrest, one each of mischief and breaching an undertaking preventing him from having contact with a witness of the assault for a short period of time in the same night.
As part of the first assault charge, Jewkes is required to submit a DNA sample, and comply with a firearms prohibition of five years.
