'He made me feel worthless - I was carrying his child but the beatings and abuse carried on'

An abusive thug rang his pregnant ex from prison over 100 times to get her to drop her statement against him, claiming he would ‘get revenge’. Jordan Burton, 22, attacked his former girlfriend on at least three occasions, despite her being pregnant with his unborn daughter.

On one occasion he threw a hoover at her six times leaving her with multiple bruises. On another occasion he struck her with a piece of wood, Manchester Crown Court heard.

After reporting him to the police he continued messaging her and sending abuse and telling her to die. He was reported again and remanded into custody, where he managed to get her number added to his prison contact list and rang her up to 100 times ordering to ‘retract or he’d get revenge’.
