A man from Quorn with ten previous offences — including ABH, GBH, robbery and two nightclub battery convictions — has walked free from Leicester Crown Court after attacking three men in a single night at a Loughborough bar, leaving one unable to work and another without his tooth.
Three Men Punched in One Night at Loughborough’s Revolution Bar
Corbin Green, of Station Road, Quorn, appeared for sentencing at Leicester Crown Court on Friday 10 April following two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The offences took place at
Revolution bar on Baxter Gate, Loughborough, in
September 2023 — more than two and a half years before Green was finally sentenced.
The violence began when Green was sitting in a booth with a woman. On returning to find another man had approached her to chat, he shoved the man. When that man’s friend stepped forward with his arms outstretched, Green
punched him in the face. No charges followed that attack — the victim did not make a statement.
Green then turned on the original man who had spoken to the woman, punching him in the face. That victim — a crane operator — was left with
sight problems that prevented him from working for four days and a permanent scar.
Later the same night, in the beer garden of the same bar, Green got into an argument with another man. When that man’s friend intervened and told Green to stop, Green punched him in the face —
knocking out his silver tooth and cutting the inside of his mouth.
Green was arrested by Leicestershire Police and made no comment in interview. He later admitted both ABH counts.
Violence in the night-time economy continues to be a concern across Leicestershire, and this case is a stark example of how quickly an evening out can turn dangerous.
Judge: “An Angry Young Man, as His History Demonstrates”
Judge Steven Evans, who had viewed CCTV footage of all three attacks, did not mince his words.
“He’s an angry young man, as his history demonstrates,” the judge said. “There’s no excuse — he wasn’t under threat. He was violent and angry as he has been in the past.”
Green’s record at the time of sentencing included
ten previous offences: ABH, GBH, robbery, battery, and affray — among them two battery offences that took place in nightclubs. His defence barrister, Philip Cowburn, acknowledged the obvious. “This is wanton violence in a nightclub and the defendant accepts the seriousness of it. The defendant has struggled to come to terms with what he has done. But he knows he has an appalling record and that will aggravate this.”
Despite all of this, Green was not sent to prison.
He received a
24-month community order with 15 days on Probation Service programmes, an electronically monitored
8pm to 5am curfew for three months, and was ordered to pay
£500 compensation to each of the two victims.
The judge explained that because Green had been on curfew since his arrest, activating a suspended sentence at a later date would carry little practical weight — time on curfew can count towards time served. A community order was therefore judged more effective. Judge Evans delivered a clear warning:
“If you come before me again I will send you to prison and none of your time will count.”
Green, who works as an on-call maintenance man, told the judge: “I appreciate that decision. I will never be here again. Thank you.”
Ten Previous Convictions and Still No Prison — Loughborough Deserves Better
Let’s be honest about what has happened here. A man with ten previous convictions — including GBH, robbery, ABH, and two separate nightclub battery offences — punched three strangers in a single evening, caused permanent injury to a working man’s eyesight, knocked another man’s tooth out, and has walked free from court. Again.
The judge’s reasoning is legally coherent. The technicality around curfew time and suspended sentences is real. But try explaining that to the crane operator who spent four days unable to work because a man with a decade of violent convictions hit him in the face for talking to a woman. Try explaining it to the man who lost his tooth. The legal logic is sound. The outcome is not satisfying.
Green’s record is not that of someone who made a mistake. ABH. GBH. Robbery. Affray. Battery in a nightclub — twice. These are not isolated lapses in an otherwise blameless life. This is a pattern. A long, well-documented, court-verified pattern of violent behaviour in exactly the kind of setting where this latest offence occurred. And yet, in September 2023, he was still out drinking in Loughborough bars. Still capable of doing what he did. Still doing it.
The two-and-a-half-year gap between the offences and the sentencing also deserves a mention. The incidents happened in September 2023. CCTV was available — the judge watched the footage. Green admitted the offences. And yet the wheels of justice turned slowly enough that we are only now, in April 2026, reaching the end of the process. The victims have been living with the consequences for thirty months. The crane operator lost four working days at the time. He has been carrying that scar for over two years.
The community order and curfew may well prove effective — the judge clearly weighed his options and chose the disposal most likely to have genuine deterrent value for this particular individual. If Green never appears before a court again, the outcome will have been the right one. His parting words in court were confident enough. Whether that confidence is earned remains to be seen.
What is certain is that the people of Loughborough — who just want to go out on a Saturday night without being punched in the face — are owed more than this outcome currently offers them. We will be watching for any further appearances by Corbin Green in the courts, and we will report them if they come.
