A Cadbury Heath man who admitted being controlling and abusive to his partner has been jailed. George Taylor disallowed the complainant from having a phone, a court heard.
It was also said Taylor did not allow her to take care of herself, fearing she would attract attention from other men. Taylor, 24, of Newton Road, pleaded guilty to controlling or coercive behaviour between July last year and May this year, as well as driving while disqualified in January 29 this year.
Judge William Hart sent him to prison for 12 months. The judge told him: "You need to think about the future and how you are going to behave towards your partner."
