A man has been sentenced to 42 months in prison for subjecting a woman to controlling and coercive behavior and threatening her with a knife. Simeon Harry was arrested by police in September 2022 after officers responded to reports of a disturbance at an address in Peacehaven. The woman at the address reported being threatened by Harry, who had fled the scene.
Following the incident, the woman revealed a history of coercive and controlling behavior from Harry spanning 18 months. She explained how she was not allowed out of the property on her own, felt isolated from friends and family, and was frightened of Harry, particularly since she became pregnant.
