Dean Foord, from Rochester,\u00a0has been jailed for three years<\/p>\n
Over this period, he controlled her social media accounts and made her cut contact with friends and family members.<\/p>\n
She was only allowed to leave the house when Foord permitted her to and on one occasion he locked her in a room and would only let her out after making her bark like a dog.<\/p>\n
On another, he dragged her by the neck, pushed her to the floor and banged her head into the ground.<\/p>\n
In a separate incident, he filmed himself threatening the victim with a knife, saying he was going to kill her. On another occasion, he threw a bucket of dirty water over her.<\/p>\n
She was not allowed to have a phone and, whenever she did, Foord would deliberately damage any phone she had.<\/p>\n
He spent all of her money on gambling, drugs, alcohol and scratch cards, and forced her to sell a phone to pay off his drug debt.<\/p>\n
When Foord, of Brooker Close, Wouldham, near Rochester, was arrested at the end of last year, officers found him in possession of cocaine.<\/p>\n
Video footage from his arrest shows officers opening a fridge to find Foord hiding inside, with officers telling him: \u201cGet out before I pull you out\u201d.<\/p>\n
He was later charged and following a trial found guilty of actual bodily harm, criminal damage, threats to kill, common assault, controlling and coercive behaviour, and possession of a class A drug.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old appeared at Maidstone Crown Court last Tuesday (June 30), where he was jailed for three years.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Violent abuser Dean Foord attempted to hide from police in a fridge<\/p>\n
Investigating officer Police Constable George Fisher said: \u201cFoord is a violent bully who used fear, violence and intimidation to control almost every aspect of the victim’s life.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe tried to hide from officers in a fridge, but there are no hiding places.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis shows that we will track offenders down and bring them to justice.<\/p>\n
\u201cI also commend the victim for the courage she has shown in coming forward and helping to secure this conviction.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A \u201cviolent\u201d bully who subjected his victim to more than six months of mental and physical abuse and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":680598,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1343,924,59,57,58,191,188,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-680597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-courts","tag-crime","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-kent","tag-medway","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=680597"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680597\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/680598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=680597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=680597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=680597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
