A man brutally assaulted his ex-partner over five hours and rubbed faeces in her face in front of a five-year-old, a court has heard.
Daniel Little, 33, of Henshall Avenue, Warrington, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday after pleading guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and false imprisonment. Arthur Gibson, prosecuting, told the court that Little and the victim had been in a relationship and shared a child together, but had been separated for several years.
In late 2022, Little made contact with the victim through social services in an attempt to rekindle contact with their five-year-old, which led to some supervised contact, in which the victim was also present. Things progressed well but around two months later, the victim felt Little was “starting to lapse into his old ways” so contacted him and told him they needed to “take a step back”.
