Leamington man given suspended sentence for violence towards his ex-girlfriend
A Leamington man has been given a suspended prison sentence for violence and controlling behaviour towards his ex-girlfriend.
At a hearing at Warwick Crown Court on Thursday August 20, Dean Kevin Marshall, aged 32, of Loxley Way, was committed to prison for 24 months suspended for three years after he had admitted to strangulation and controlling or coercive behaviour.
Two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH) will also lie on Marshall’s file.
Marshall is also required to carry out 160-hours’ unpaid work and to participate in an accredited programme for 26 days.
He will also have to participate in a rehabilitation activity programme for up to 30 days and pay a surcharge of £187.
A ten-year restraining order was also placed on Marshall, meaning he cannot contact the victim either directly or indirectly by any means including via social media or digitally.
He must also not enter her home address or go within 100 metres of any place he reasonably knows or believes her to be living.
