A Cleethorpes man has been slammed with a seven-year jail sentence for subjecting a woman to relentless verbal abuse, sexual assault, and coercive control.

Clive Lennon found guilty after five-day trial

Clive Lennon, 44, was convicted at Hull Crown Court in October 2025 following a hard-hitting five-day trial. He was found guilty of sexual assault by penetration, plus coercive and controlling behaviour. Alongside his prison sentence, Lennon has been slapped with a lifetime restraining order.

Police acted swiftly after victim came forward

Humberside Police launched their investigation after a victim bravely reported abuse in April 2025, revealing Lennon’s relentless verbal attacks and manipulative control. “I commend her courage. We urge all victims or witnesses of abuse to come forward and report it. We take all reports seriously and will hold offenders to account.”
