A man who abused his girlfriend and hid their four month old baby from her had previously avoided jail for the same offences against an ex partner, a court heard.
Paul Manson, of Markfield Crescent, Halewood, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday after subjecting his girlfriend to months of controlling behaviour and abuse. Manson pleaded guilty to committing actual bodily harm, and to engaging in coercive and controlling behaviour after assaulting the mother of his child.
Faye Carroll had been in a relationship with Manson for around 18 months, and the pair shared a four month old baby at the time of the assault, and Ms Carroll was also mum to three other children. Kate Morley, prosecuting, explained the victim described their relationship as “a mixed bag”, but since the birth of their child in November 2021, Manson had become more paranoid and controlling.
