A controlling and abusive thug beat his girlfriend and checked her naked body for 'signs of other men' in a horrific campaign of abuse.
Paul Thorburn, 38, was found guilty of section 47 assault and controlling and coercive behaviour at a trial after his victim bravely reported him to the police.
After officers conducted initial enquiries, it was established that the victim had been involved in an abusive domestic relationship with Thorburn who, during the course of their year-long relationship, subjected her to physical, mental, and emotional abuse between November 2020 and November 2021.
