Man jailed for six years for abusing a woman

A man has been jailed for six years for engaging in controlling or coercive behaviour, rape and criminal damage.

Connor Dunkley, from Fern Hill, Benllech, Tyn Y Gongl appeared at Chester Crown Court on 10th July to be sentenced after being found guilty of the offences at an earlier hearing.

The 31-year-old targeted his victim in Cheshire while they were in a relationship. He abused and belittled her throughout the course of the relationship. He was physically and verbally abusive towards her and damaged her property.

He continually told her she wasn’t good enough or attractive enough for him, and forced her to have sex.

He took her money, leaving her without, and isolated her from friends and family due to his jealousy.

DC Ashley Frowe said:

“Dunkley’s behaviour towards this woman was vile, unforgivable and callous. The sentence reflects the seriousness of his crimes and that behaving in this way will not be tolerated.

"I’d urge anyone in a similar position to contact us, or a support agency, to help them break free. Don’t suffer in silence.”
