Man sentenced for controlling behaviour in Worcester

Worcester Editorial 2nd Jan, 2024   0

A MAN from Birmingham has been jailed for strangling a woman and subjecting her to controlling and coercive behaviour.

Jordan Porter, 25, of Bromford Lane in Washwood Heath was sentenced to three and a half years in prison.

He was also handed an indefinite restraining order during sentencing at Worcester Crown Court on December 21.

Porter pleaded guilty to controlling and coercive behaviour and two counts of intentional strangulation in Worcester.

The restraining order prevents him from making contact with his victim.

DC Helen Goode said:




“Porter is a dangerous man who inflicted emotional and physical abuse onto his victim.

“I welcome his sentence and hope this sends a positive message that domestic abuse of any kind will not be tolerated.


“I hope the victim in this case can now move forward with her life feeling Porter has got the sentence he deserves.

“Her bravery in coming forward and supporting a prosecution has enabled us to get this conviction and I praise her for determination and courage.”
