A Dumbarton woman whose violent ex-husband was sentenced following a 17-year campaign of domestic abuse has bravely spoken out as she urged other victims to speak up.
Sharon McCallion is encouraging women not to suffer in silence as figures released last week showed West Dunbartonshire has the second worst rate of domestic abuse in the country.
Two weeks ago, her ex-husband Bruce Summers was sentenced at Dumbarton Sheriff Court after pleading guilty to one charge of striking her on the head, throwing her towards a set of stairs, and pushing her on the body, repeatedly, over a period of almost 18 years.
