Following a trial, 22 year old Gabriel Gabor, from Edgware in London, was found guilty by majority jury verdict of one count of coercive control at Aylesbury Crown Court.
In January of this year, the victim was held down, hit and kicked by Gabor, after she tried to leave a property.
Gabor also took the victim’s phone and locked her in the house on occasions in 2021 and 2022.
Gabor was sentenced to a year and three months in prison on Thursday (18/8).
Investigating officer, PC Aimee Stein, based at Aylesbury police station, said: “After a long period of dealing with this coercive control and assaults, the victim finally has some justice.
“The conviction and sentence of Gabriel Gabor serves as a reminder that we will take action against offenders.
“I would encourage anyone experiencing coercive behaviour to come forward and report it to us either online or by calling 101. We will listen and support you.”
