A man who turned up at his ex-partner's house and dragged her back inside as she tried to escape has avoided a prison sentence.
Dad-of-seven Thomas Bronson, 37, had been in a relationship with his then partner since 2021 but it broke down in October last year.
Leeds Crown Court heard that on October 29 last year, the woman was out with friends when she received a number of abusive text messages from Bronson. Prosecutor Philip Standfast said: "They were abusive and included: 'You f****** dirty little c***, you're going to get your face punched in.'"
