A horrible case
A controlling and abusive thug beat his girlfriend and checked her naked body for 'signs of other men' in a horrific campaign of abuse.
The victim desperately attempted to flee the apartment, but he grabbed her and pulled her back, causing her to hit her head on the stairs. Prosecuting, Mr Benjamin Lawrence told the court that the victim now 'spends most of her time indoors and not socialising' following the ordeal. In a victim impact statement, she said she has 'completely lost myself' and now struggles with anxiety and depression.
Sentencing Thorburn to four years imprisonment, for which he must serve at least half behind bars, and imposing an indefinite restraining order to protect the victim, Recorder Abigail Hudson said: "You and the victim were in a toxic relationship characterised by your jealousy and distrust of her. "You are a man capable of treating another human being like that. You used numerous methods of control over a prolonged period.
