A millionaire property mogul who mentally and physically abused his wife for years and denied her a divorce has been jailed today. Alan Moher, 57, was seen laughing and 'smirking' in the dock before being sentenced to 18 months behind bars at Southwark Crown Court.
His wife, Caroline Moher, brought a private prosecution against her husband, Alan Moher, 57, for a charge of controlling and coercive behaviour between January 2016 and January last year. Mr Moher, had refused to grant his wife a 'Get', a document that formally recognises the end of a marriage in the orthodox Jewish faith.
Mr Moher, from Salford, was due to stand trial at Southwark Crown Court last February but changed his plea to guilty. Under Jewish Law, only husbands can agree to a 'Get', reports MyLondon.
