One woman saw Traynor grab his victim by the hair with one hand while he used his other hand to punch her continuously in the face and around the head.

“It sounded like a thud each time she was struck,” said a statement of facts tendered to Wagga Local Court on Wednesday after Traynor pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent and to assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

The facts said one witness saw 39-year-old Traynor also kicking the woman in the Mount Austin street near where Traynor lived in October last year.

As the woman yelled for help, Traynor was heard to say:

“Shut up you bitch, you’re a slut and a dog”.

The assault was so savage, the woman suffered a broken jaw and teeth were knocked out.

She was flown to Canberra Hospital where two metal plates were screwed into her jaw during surgery.

The statement of facts said:

“As a result of the assault by the offender on the victim, she received 19 individually identifiable injuries to the surface of her body, including lacerations, abrasions and bruises to her head and neck, her elbows, forearm, chest, back, buttocks, right leg and left leg.”

According to the statement of facts, the woman had spent her birthday on October 23 with family while Traynor drank alcohol over the course of the day.

Sometime during the night, the woman – who had known Traynor for some time – met with him.

For some reason not disclosed in the facts, Traynor became violent.

About 1.40am on October 24, a series of triple-0 calls were made by residents near Traynor’s house reporting a violent assault.

After beating the woman in the street, Traynor took her inside his house, but she escaped and ran to a friend’s house down the street.

The friend opened her front door after hearing banging and saw the bloodied and crying victim.

“He’s hit me, he’s knocked me teeth out, he’s broken my jaw,” the assaulted woman said.

Police called to the scene arrested Traynor on the spot as the woman was taken to hospital in an ambulance.

Traynor has been in custody since his arrest.

Traynor has also pleaded guilty to contravening an apprehended violence order designed to protect the woman on November 7 and, on the same day, sending her a letter trying to persuade to her act as a witness for him at a judicial proceeding.

Facts on those two charges are still being settled.

Traynor will be sentenced by a judge in Wagga District Court after July 24.
