Brutal Stair Kick Lands Nigel Hallam Behind Bars
Nigel Hallam, once of Tudor Way, has been jailed after violently assaulting his victim — including kicking her down the stairs. The abuse lasted throughout 2020 and 2021, with Hallam inflicting not just physical harm but also psychological torment through coercive control and manipulation.
Jury Finds Hallam Guilty of Domestic Abuse
Hallam was arrested on 11 January 2022 and charged with domestic abuse offences. In February, a Sheffield Crown Court jury found him guilty of controlling or coercive behaviour and assault by beating. On Tuesday 26 April, he was sentenced to 14 months in prison and slapped with a six-year restraining order.
Police Praise Victim’s Courage, Urge Others to Speak Out
T/Sergeant Samuel Mitchell said: “I am pleased that Hallam has been handed the immediate custodial sentence he rightly deserves. His cruel and callous actions caused his victim to suffer over two years, and he showed no empathy.”
“I would like to thank the victim for her bravery coming forward and reporting what happened. Whilst the sentence can never undo Hallam’s atrocious actions, I hope it can help provide his victim with the first steps towards healing. It is thanks to her that a dangerous individual is now behind bars where he belongs.”
“If you or a loved one has been affected by domestic abuse, please know that it is not your fault. It is the offender who is to blame. We are here to listen, support you, and bring offenders to justice.”
