A man has been sentenced to 14 months in jail after engaging in coercive and controlling behaviour towards his partner. John Sharples, 54, from Thornhill Place, Longstanton, South Cambridgeshire demanded that his girlfriend provide him with evidence of her whereabouts, including bus tickets and receipts, in order to trace her movements.

Throughout their relationship, Sharples incessantly questioned the victim about her location, the people she was with, and how she had arrived there. He would meticulously scrutinise the evidence she presented and interrogate any discrepancies. Additionally, he would follow her to the shops and insist on accompanying her when she visited friends, waiting outside until she was finished.
