Brutal thug who battered girlfriend and smashed her phone to her head locked up!
Shocking Attacks Caught on Camera
Ben Doughty, 31, from Godmanchester, went on a terrifying rampage last August. In a savage attack, he grabbed his girlfriend’s mobile phone and smashed it against her head.
Terrified, the victim hid under a duvet but secretly recorded the violent assault. The footage shows Doughty hitting her face, causing what she later described as a broken nose. He dragged her around her flat, punched her legs, and pinned her to the bed, choking her until she gasped for air.
Multiple Injuries and Constant Fear
The couple’s relationship was a nightmare of violence. Arguments often sparked when Doughty spotted something on her phone he didn’t like. The victim suffered repeated injuries to her arms, shoulder, nose, and legs during the brutal attacks.
Justice Served: Jail Time and 10-Year Restraining Order
Doughty admitted two counts of actual bodily harm and one count of common assault. On 30 January, Peterborough Crown Court sentenced him to 22 months behind bars.
He denied intentionally strangling his partner, but that charge was left on file. The court also imposed a 10-year restraining order, banning him from any contact with the victim.
