A brave woman has revealed how she overcame abuse by her ex-boyfriend who extorted £30,000 from her during their two-year relationship. Beckie Scott, 25, from Watford, Hertfordshire, was just 18 when she met her former partner in a nightclub.
She was charmed by his cheeky attitude as he showered her with dates, flowers and gifts - but she claims soon his true colours began to show. Beckie says she was forced to leave her job in the hospitality industry at the insistence of her then-boyfriend.
It was just one of the many things he eventually made Beckie do against her will she tells us, including deleting her social media and making her pay for his bills and expenses - which she says he recklessly gambled.
