A man from Weston has been jailed for 27 months for a series of offences committed against a woman.

Bradley Green, 28, formerly of Cucumber Lane, appeared before Ipswich Crown Court on Wednesday (3 December) for sentencing, after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing.

Green admitted to offences including; two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentional strangulation, controlling or coercive behaviour and harassment causing fear of violence.

The court heard he used tracking apps to monitor the victim’s location and challenged her when it was turned off or if she was somewhere he didn’t expect.

He would also challenge her about male contacts she had on social media, demand that she deleted them, and would regularly check her phone.

Green admitted being violent towards the victim, spitting at her, strangling her and causing actual bodily harm. He also damaged her property and hounded her with calls and text messages to get her attention, threatening to harm himself unless she replied.

The victim’s personal statement was read out in court. In it she wrote: “I remember a time when I was the one on the other side saying ‘why don’t you just leave’. But the reality of it is, when you put so much love and trust in someone, it feels impossible to leave.

And by the time that trust is broken and you’re ready to leave, it’s not safe to...

“’Maybe this time he’ll change’ ‘it’s just been a bad week’ .. by the time I wanted out, I couldn’t. How can you go out when you know he’ll show up?”

Investigating Officer Detective Constable Samuel Jones said: “This was a protracted and complex case, involving the review of over 140,000 mobile phone messages. These messages painted a detailed picture of the lives these individuals were living while in a relationship.

"The strength of this digital evidence, combined with witness accounts, video footage, and injury photographs, made for a compelling case against Green, who subsequently pleaded guilty.

“His actions have had a profound impact on the victim, who has shown courage in coming forward to report the behaviour and support this prosecution.

“We encourage anyone experiencing abuse to seek help. Regardless of how much time has passed, you will be listened to and supported.”

If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, please seek help. Victims are encouraged to contact police or the Suffolk Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0800 977 5690.
