Nathan McIntosh: Thug who attacked three people serves his sentence on luxury Thai holiday Nathanial McIntosh was convicted of a 'sustained attack' on three people Magistrates relaxed his curfew so he could go on month-long holiday Posted pictures of his holiday branding his critics 'w******' Amateur footballer, 23, boasts of his trips to pole dancing clubs and parties A thug who had his curfew lifted so he could go on a month-long holiday to Thailand has posted a holiday photo branding his critics 'w******'. Violent Nathanial McIntosh, 23, was convicted of a 'sustained attack' which included kicking and punching three terrified victims, including one woman, in Newquay, Cornwall, last August. He admitted using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with intent at Truro Magistrates in January and was given a 12-week suspended prison sentence and an eight-week curfew. Convicted thug Nathanial McIntosh has been boasting of his Thailand holiday after his curfew was lifted The father sent an unrepentant taunt with a sunshine snap from the Thailand resort McIntosh, who had a previous conviction for assault in 2010, asked magistrates for an amendment as he had already paid for the holiday to the Asian country - and they agreed. His curfew, which was to stay at home from 7pm to 6am daily, was relaxed so that McIntosh could go on a pre-booked month long break to the Phi Phi Islands in Thailand. McIntosh, of Falmouth, Cornwall, has now posted a shirtless picture of himself wearing swimming shorts on a sun-kissed beach. The picture, posted on social networking site Instagram, has the caption: 'Put this on the front of the West Briton....W******!! #PhiPhilsland #Thailand'. Enjoying his freedom: McIntosh, who has previous convictions for violence following an assault in 2010, posted pictures of himself at pole dancing shows and boxing matches while on holiday McIntosh has been bragging to his followers of his holiday, and posted pictures of himself at a Full Moon Party On his Twitter page the amateur footballer boasted of his holiday, telling his followers that he was planning to go for 'drinks with the lads' when he returned from holiday. He branded the newspaper 'c****' while telling his friends what an amazing time he was having at Thailand's infamously rowdy full moon parties. McIntosh, who is understood to be a father and a roofer, crowed about watching Thai boxing fights and eating McDonald's. The curfew is set to start again on his return on April 3. The decision was attacked by justice groups after it was first revealed in his local newspaper, The West Briton. McIntosh, who had a previous conviction for assault in 2010, asked magistrates for an amendment as he had already paid for the holiday to Thailand - and they agreed McIntosh was also given a 12 week suspended jail term for the incident in Newquay against three people, suspended for a year McIntosh took the opportunity to crow about his holiday, after magistrates allowed him to go on holiday The convicted thug had his curfew altered so he could go on holiday to Thailand Local resident Adam Petrauske, who spotted the picture, said: 'I find it absolutely disgusting how he has been able to get away with this.' A victim of an unrelated crime complained: 'It's absolutely ludicrous that the curfew was relaxed and says the law is nothing and bends to suit you.' The editor of the West Briton, Richard Best, said: 'I just think it's fundamentally unjust that somebody who is being punished for an offence has that postponed so that they can sun themselves on a beach. 'I can't believe that my readers won't be outraged by that.' Peter Chapman, chairman of the Magistrates' Association's sentencing committee, said courts do have the power to lift curfews. He said: 'If the curfew clashes with work, a pre-booked holiday, a relative's wedding, or a job interview, magistrates can adjust the curfew as they see fit. 'The punishment imposed by a curfew consists of the number of days and hours on which the offender's liberty is restricted by having to be at home. Magistrates relaxed the thug's curfew so that he could go on holiday, where he has boasted of watching boxing matches and partying If the magistrates wish the offender to suffer a financial loss, they will order a fine to be paid. They will not add to the punishment by forcing the offender to suffer additional financial losses. A Ministry of Justice spokesman said:'Only courts can vary the requirements imposed under suspended sentence - this is solely a matter for them.' In January McIntosh was also fined and banned from the roads for drink driving - he was found to be three times over the legal limit when stopped at Breage near Helston, Cornwall, in June. McIntosh played football for his local home town team of Falmouth Town before moving to Wendron Utd in Cornwall.
