A controlling bully punched and strangled his partner during four horrendous attacks after she told him she wanted to end their relationship. On one occasion he dragged her back into the house by her hair in front of onlookers.
Jason May, 35, attacked his now ex-girlfriend at her home in Abertillery, Blaenau Gwent, throughout the course of their relationship between 2021 and 2022. A sentencing hearing at Newport Crown Court heard one of the attacks resulted in the victim falling on top of a glass table, causing it to smash into smithereens.
Prosecutor Alex Greenwood said the first assault took place on November 8, 2021, when the couple were arguing in bed. May was screaming and got on top of the victim before headbutting her to the face. She described hearing a noise that sounded like her nose breaking and felt "upset and scared".
