A controlling partner is behind bars after a shocking trail of violence on his partner which left her feeling worthless. Ben Nurse, of Park Avenue West, Keyworth, was handed a jail sentence of 27 months and a 10-year restaining order to keep him away from her.
The woman's relationship with Nurse was "filled with violence towards her", fuelled by drink and drugs and his insecurities, said Lucy Jones, prosecuting. Their relationship started quickly in January 2022, with the woman describing him as "perfect" - but things rapidly deteroriated.
Nottingham Crown Court heard Nurse, who has a roofing business, attacked her, then began to cry, but she went back to him. "There were many occasions of violence throughout their relationship, so many she struggled to remember them all", said Miss Jones.
