A kickboxing truckie brutally bashed a Melbourne massage parlour worker during a wine-fuelled attack after she refused to refund him for a naked massage.

Angelo Lociuro, 54 or 55, was sentenced in the County Court on Monday to a minimum three-year jail term after pleading guilty to intentionally cause injury.

Lociuro demanded a refund after getting an hour-long “naked massage” at city venue Amazon Massage Parlour on March 5 last year.

Lociuro was enraged and still naked while he chased the terrified woman who had fled the Bourke St parlour room screaming for help.

Lociuro put his clothes back on and followed the victim to the reception where he rushed at her and grabbed a fistful of her hair.

Judge John Kelly said Lociuro, who the court heard was a trained kickboxer, dragged the victim to the floor “violently”.

Judge Kelly said Lociuro repeatedly hit the victim with “full-blooded” punches to the face and smashed her head “through a wall”.

Lociuro, who wore heavy-duty steel toe-capped boots, then kicked the victim in the face.

“(The attack had) such ferocity that her body physically jolted backwards off the ground into the desk behind her,” Judge Kelly said.

Judge Kelly said Lociuro’s 10-year plus kickboxing background “worked with purpose” during the “savage attack” which was “vicious and devastating”.

“She was defenceless against you,” Judge Kelly said.

The court heard Lociuro’s victim was hospitalised with serious injuries including a fractured eye socket which left her blind in one eye.

Police arrested Lociuro at his Brunswick West home just days after the brutal assault.

The thug told investigators he just “snapped” because the “girl was upset for some reason”.

“I was drunk, I flipped out and here we are … and she’s in hospital …,” Lociuro told police.

“I just snapped … I remember feeling enraged, I felt a rage … everything that was inside me came out.

“I don’t know what her problem was with me … as I walked out, I just flipped …”

Lociuro also told police he drank two bottles of wine prior to attending the massage parlour at about 2.30pm.

“I don’t want to get this girl in trouble, sometimes the girls offer a little bit extra for money … so I took the card out …,” he said.

“I don’t remember nothing happening, that’s the thing I took personal … I’m paying for extra, but I didn’t get it.”

Lociuro also told police he “felt like he got robbed” and the victim was “greasing him off”.

“Two thoughts went through my head (when I woke up the next day) …,” he said.

“I don’t consider myself to be a violent person but I can be violent … and lately I have been escalating … and I felt like the biggest dog.

“I knew I had roughed her up but not to that extent.”

The victim said, in her impact statement, she was “physically and emotionally shattered” and “struggles to find a sense of normalcy in (her) life”.

The victim also said she has been vision impaired for nine months and has had three surgeries fail to repair the damage inflicted by Lociuro.

The court heard the victim has “poor prognosis” for vision recovery and faces multiple future surgeries in her recovery.

Judge Kelly said Lociuro, who begged for his sentence to be delayed so he could raise money to compensate the victim, had provided a “self-serving” letter to the court but had not apologised to the victim.

Lociuro, who the court heard worked as a labourer and truckie, was jailed for a maximum of five years.
