Broadmoor Attacker Jonty Bravery Gets 16 Weeks
8 Jan
Summary
- Jonty Bravery received a 16-week sentence for assaulting two nurses.
- The assaults occurred at Broadmoor high-security psychiatric hospital.
- The new sentence runs concurrently with his life sentence from 2019.
Jonty Bravery, who is serving a life sentence for a 2019 attack, has received an additional 16-week jail term for assaulting two nurses at Broadmoor Hospital in September 2024. Bravery attacked Linda McKinlay and Kate Mastalerz while staff attempted to prevent him from climbing a ledge to harm himself. He kicked one nurse and clawed at the face of another, who described it as her first such assault in her career at the facility.
The 16-week sentence will be served concurrently with Bravery's existing life sentence, which carries a minimum term of 15 years. This sentence stems from the 2019 incident where he pushed a six-year-old boy from the 10th-story balcony of the Tate Modern, resulting in life-changing injuries for the child.
Bravery, who is autistic and requires constant supervision, refused to appear at the Westminster magistrates court hearing for his sentencing on Thursday. This is not the first time he has been convicted of attacking staff; in 2020, he received a 14-week sentence for assaulting nurses at Broadmoor.
