A man has been sentenced to ten years for abusing a woman, leaving her in constant fear and distress throughout their relationship
Stubbs controlled her completely. He wouldn’t let her leave the house. He even damaged her phone and clothes. This way, she couldn’t reach out for help.
The woman lived in constant fear. She was always anxious, worried about what he might do next. Stubbs made her feel like she was walking on eggshells.
Durham Constabulary stepped in and investigated. They arrested Stubbs after he was charged with several offenses. He admitted to some charges but denied others.
In court, the woman shared her pain. She said Stubbs affected her life and her family’s life deeply. She felt like she was in survival mode, always scared.
PC Samantha Geraghty led the investigation. She said Stubbs’ actions were terrible. She hopes this sentence shows that such behavior won’t be tolerated.
If anyone is suffering from abuse, help is available. You are not alone, and there are people ready to support you.
