Karl Crimmins ( pictured ) has been banned from using online dating sites after he punched a woman he met on the internet in the face . A judge has taken the unusual step of banning a violent misogynist from all online dating sites after he punched a woman he met on the internet in the face . Judge William Gaskell told violent Karl Crimmins , 29 , of Bedwas , Caerphilly , that women who replied to his online dating profile 'did not know what they were getting into ' . Qualified fitter Crimmins pleaded guilty to unlawfully wounding his then-girlfriend Tina Evans in January this year - four months after meeting her through a dating site . The court heard he had been at her home in Llanrumney , Cardiff , complaining about repairs needed to his car when she made a joke and was punched in the eye by Crimmins . She needed hospital treatment and the split above her right eye had to be stitched . But it was his previous appearances before judges and magistrates which shocked the court . John Lloyd , prosecuting , said they included not only violence against women but even against one partner 's five-year-old child . Mr Lloyd said in 2008 Crimmins , then in his early 20s , had assaulted a woman in Bedwas by pulling her hair and punching and grabbing her by the throat . Just over a year later , in September 2009 , he was at Grays Gardens in Caerphilly when he grabbed a woman around the neck as she was holding a young baby . 'It is not known if it was the same woman but each is listed as domestic violence , ' Mr Lloyd told the court . 'And the same address in Grays Gardens is given for the location of three more offences of assault in 2010 when a woman was punched and a five-year-old child had a towel placed around his neck before he was pulled off a chair , causing bruising . 'The boy was also shaken on another occasion . ' In 2011 Crimmins was back before another court for what was described as an 'incident ' with a partner in Blaengarw , Bridgend . Cardiff Crown Court ( pictured ) heard Crimmins has a long history of being violent towards his partners . Mr Lloyd said : 'They had a verbal argument over his driving and when they got home he pushed her into a cupboard under the stairs and closed the door . 'That was in October and in December he was in another argument with her when he put his arm around her neck and held her in a headlock , restricting her breathing and causing her to vomit . ' Judge Gaskell said a point had been made that Crimmins managed to stay out of trouble from that time until this year . But he told him : 'It really shows how utterly contemptible you are if that is thought to be an achievement . ' The court heard Crimmins ( pictured ) has a problem with women and 'needs to change his ways ' Crimmins ' own solicitor described him as a man who had a problem with women , saying : 'He 's a misogynist who needs to change his ways . ' Edward Mitchard , defending , said the prospect for future partners had to be considered and the risk to them would be reduced if Crimmins went on a special programme . Judge Gaskell said the programmes had failed in 2008 and 2009 but agreed the court had a public duty to try again . 'You are not fit to be on a dating site or in any relationship , ' the senior circuit judge sitting at Cardiff Crown Court told him . 'Women would have nothing to do with you if they knew they were contacting a serial abuser . ' ' I am not unduly optimistic but this behaviour has to stop , ' he told the defendant as he gave him an eight-month prison sentence suspended for two years with supervision . He also ordered Crimmins to complete 250 hours unpaid work and attend a 'Building better relationships ' course . 'What happened to Ms Evans was that she fell into a relationship with you while you are quite unfit to have a relationship with anyone , ' the judge said . 'She put her trust in a violent man who likes hitting women . ' He also imposed a four-month night-time curfew 'to curtail your social life ' and made a restraining order keeping him away from Ms Evans , her home and any dating site . 'It is necessary to protect those who may be at risk of violence from you , ' he said .
