Brute Matthew Stevens subjected his victim to a terrifying ordeal after she refused to have sex with him - leaving her for dead in a grass bank.
The brute was jailed for 29 years this week after being found guilty of attempted murder. During the attack Stevens kicked and stamped on the woman and stripped her naked.
It is just one of the terrifying incidents heard in courts across the North East where woman have suffered at the hands of men, with one man found guilty of murder after brutally stabbing his wife 78 times.
