Bullying boyfriend ordered to stay away from mother of his kids for FIVE YEARS
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED, JUDGE TELLS CHRISTOPHER PARR
The victim is rather fearful of encountering
this defendant Nigel Clive, prosecuting
A BULLYING boyfriend has been ordered to stay away from the mother of his children for five years.
In one violent confrontation, the woman fell down the stairs in her house, Grimsby Crown Court heard.
Christopher Parr, 30, also left the woman crying and in fear after managing to lock him out of her house. The court heard Parr had breached a court order by turning up inside her home, pushing her and grabbing her phone.
Parr, 30, of Talbot Road, Immingham, but now believed to be living in Grimsby, admitted breaching a restraining order and stealing a mobile phone on March 6.
Nigel Clive, prosecuting, told the court that Parr was in a relationship with the woman for a long time and they had two children.
He let himself into her house and there was a confrontation. She fell down the stairs but it was not claimed that Parr was responsible for this. She was trying to speak with him and he pushed her. He took her phone and she wanted it back.
“She managed to push the defendant out of the house and lock the door,” said Mr Clive. “The police found him in the garden still with her phone.
“The victim is rather fearful of encountering this defendant.”
She was left crying and upset by what had happened and had suffered stress and interrupted sleep from the distress and abuse she had suffered at his hands.
Parr had convictions for 55 previous offences. Saleem Khan, mitigating, said that Parr was now “older and wiser” and had a more grown-up attitude. “He realises the seriousness of breaching court orders,” said Mr Khan. Judge John Thackray QC told Parr: “You should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself. This is the mother of your children.
“You are having a significant impact upon her. You need to change your ways.”
Parr, who had been in custody for nearly three months, was given 20 days’ rehabilitation.
He was given a five-year restraining order.
