NOTTINGHAM MAN JAILED FOR DRUNKEN ABUSIVE BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS WIFE
'Nasty drunk' Neil Young, who began drinking a bottle of spirits and two bottles of wine daily after losing his job during lockdown, subjected his wife to a two-year catalogue of control and threats, including threats to kill her.
Nottingham Crown Court was told during the hearing that he called her 'a lesbian,' and his drunken behaviour escalated to verbal abuse and physical threats.
Despite her attempts to seek help, Neil Young refused to let her leave, pressed a bottle to her face, and threatened to kill her on two occasions in front of their children, leaving her 'emotionally scarred.' his behaviour culminated in his guilty pleas to controlling and coercive behaviour, leading to an 18-month jail sentence and a lifetime restraining order prohibiting contact with his ex-wife or going to her address.
The judge stated that Young's alcohol problem worsened during lockdown, transforming him into a 'nasty drunk,' and highlighted that there is no excuse for his actions, which inflicted significant emotional damage on his wife and children.
