Teenager abducted and hit by her bully boyfriend
HE THREATENED TO KILL HER DOGS
AN ABUSIVE bully who worried his 17-year-old girlfriend loved her dogs more than him abducted and repeatedly punched her.
Daniel Carnegie-Wilson abused the girl throughout their seven-month relationship. When she ended it, he dragged her into his car and drove to a remote lay-by where he punched her, splitting her lip.
Carnegie-Wilson, of Broomhills Road Narborough, threatened to kill her dogs, lock her in the boot with the dead animals and crash, killing them all.
At Leicester Crown Court, prosecutor James Varley said: “He told her she could not touch the dogs and if she did he would bleach her skin.
“If they were apart he would video call her. If she didn’t answer he would accuse her, not of being out with another man, but with her dogs.”
On one occasion Carnegie-Wilson, 22, arrived at the girl’s home and kicked one of the pets. When she picked it up he punched her repeatedly in the arm.
Mr Varley said: “Rather than apologise for striking her he instructed she wash her hands.”
At Christmas 2019 he made her stay with just him instead of going to her grandmother’s house as she wanted.
On her 18th birthday he told her he would organise “something special” but they just went to the gym and had a drink afterwards. When she complained he punched her in the face.
On a night out with her brother and other friends, he threatened to kidnap her and snap her arms. When her brother tried to stop Carnegie-Wilson getting in their taxi he attacked her brother and had to be restrained.
On February 10, with the relationship over and Carnegie-Wilson on police bail, he ambushed her at college, put her over his shoulder and ran off with her before passers-by intervened.
In her victim impact statement the girl said: “The stress was intolerable. My confidence was being wiped out from the first time he hit me and my ability to stand up for myself was diminishing to the point where I stopped being me.”
Mr Varley said Carnegie-Wilson had a previous conviction for battery and criminal damage against a former girlfriend.
Carnegie-Wilson pleaded guilty to Section 4 harassment of the 17-yearold and common assault against her brother.
Harbinder Lally, representing Carnegie-Wilson pleaded for him to be kept out of jail. His client wept as Mr Lally told the court: “He is deeply sorry and genuinely remorseful.
“There isn’t any excuse or any justification for his behaviour.
“He’s seeing a psychotherapist twice a week and he is embarking upon a degree at the University of Northampton.”
Recorder Balraj Bhatia, sentencing, told the defendant: “It’s obvious you have serious issues about controlling behaviour, bullying behaviour.
“But you have no understanding about what’s involved in a relationship.
“What you did in both relationships is try to impose your own bullying nature so the other person no longer felt like a person.
“You made her life hell over a sevenmonth period.
“You’ve scarred her psychologically. You resorted to violence readily with your fists. How do you think those punches felt?”
He sentenced Carnegie-Wilson to a two-year term, suspended for two years. He will have to participate in 15 probation service rehabilitation days and also attend 30 days on the probation service’s “building better relationships” course.
He said: “You’ve come within a hair’s breadth of going to prison today.”
