His outfit announces it: He plays often and plays hard. Burberry pants, and even from a distance the velour top looks super soft and rich. With a light-footed glide, the consummate player arrives in front of the judge.

He faces one charge of assault, but his female victim maintains it was callousness in the first degree.

The couple dated for "some time" according to defense counsel. Eventually, however, the gentleman topped out and told the woman so.

"Don't come around no more," was how the sharp dresser put it.

She did come around, but he would not allow her entry to his lair. She persisted. He pushed one way, and she the other.

Before long, he punched her in the face.

She sat sobbing on his stairs and bleeding from the mouth — still hoping for reconciliation — when the police arrived.

The prosecution asks for $1,000 bail. The judge, however, decides to release the defendant on his own recognizance, but with an order of protection for the woman.
