Shaun Kent, 31, of Sandhurst Road in Brighton, routinely abused his victim – a 23-year-old woman named Darcy – over a period of four years, taking control of many aspects of her life and subjecting her to psychological and physical attacks.
Kent, who worked as a bricklayer, deleted Darcy’s social media accounts and turned up unannounced at social occasions a number of times, behaving violently and threateningly. Sometimes the events would be at locations Darcy had not revealed to Kent, suggesting he was monitoring her movements.
