Man jailed for his controlling behaviour towards a Warwickshire woman
A man who lied about his controlling behaviour towards a Warwickshire woman has been jailed for two years.
Luke Jones, of Alveston in Derbyshire, was arrested after his victim came forward to talk about the abuse she was being subjected to.
Warwickshire Police said that when 28-year-old Jones was interviewed he told lie after lie – but said that officers were able to gather enough evidence to secure a charge for controlling and coercive behaviour.
And on April 28 at Warwick Crown Court, he was jailed for two years, with a ten-year restraining order also put in place to protect the victim.
Detective Sergeant Ramsay said: “As is typical of abusers, Jones thought he could control the situation – even when he found himself across the table from detectives.
“His lies didn’t protect him from being charged, convicted and sentenced. I’d like to thank the victim for her bravery.”
