JAIL FOR MAN WHO ATTACKED EX-PARTNER AND FORCED HER TO LEAVE HOUSE NAKED
A violent robber assaulted his former partner by kicking and punching her before stealing her phone, and then ordered her to strip naked and leave the premises.Aaron Dyer violently attacked the terrified woman at an address on Tennyson Street, Radford, causing injuries such as lumps to her head and scratches on her wrist.
The 42-year-old further humiliated her by instructing her to remove her clothing and exit the flat, while recording her on his phone as she departed.
She managed to escape to a nearby address to borrow some clothes.
The police later found her following the incident, which took place on 30 December 2023.
After inquiries, officers arrested Dyer approximately 20 minutes later in the vicinity.
Dyer, who resides on Grindon Crescent, Bulwell, was charged and convicted of robbery and assault causing actual bodily harm after a trial at Nottingham Crown Court last month.
He was sentenced to four and a half years in prison during a hearing at the same court on Monday, 22 July 2024.
Detective Constable Ruth Towle of Nottinghamshire Police commented: “This was an evidence-led prosecution which enabled us to bring Dyer to justice for his violent offending.
“We realise some vulnerable victims of domestic abuse may be concerned about taking part in the legal process to get justice.
“We understand those concerns and work hard with our partners to overcome them in any way we can.
“We explain how we treat reports seriously, how we will do all we can to protect victims, and how we can keep people safe using tools such as court orders to prevent further contact between victim and offender.
“When that kind of reassurance proves insufficient, we will always explore an evidence-led prosecution in order to safeguard victims and bring offenders to justice.
“As the outcome in this particular case highlights, we can and will pursue offenders even in cases where victims do not want to go through the court process.
“We will leave no stone unturned in our investigation and we will do everything in our power to protect victims from further harm.”
