Choke action sentencing

A VICTORIAN woman who survived a strangling attempt by her former partner is backing a Liberal pledge to have offenders jailed for up to 10 years.

Ashlee, who did not want her surname published, is backing the proposed law change after the man who assaulted her in a domestic violence situation was given a 22month sentence.

Opposition leader Matthew Guy has pledged to make nonfatal strangulation and choking of a family member punishable by up to a decade in jail, if elected to power on November 24.
