After a month of dating, Matthew Bailey, 24, banned his girlfriend, Molly Cunliffe, 19, from using Snapchat and monitored her use of Facebook.
Bailey, who has been sentenced for psychological abuse in an intimate relationship would regularly check Miss Cunliffe’s mobile phone, tell her what to wear and demanded she sends him pictures to prove she was at home, reports Telegraph UK.
While they were dating, Bailey also bombarded Miss Cunliffe with calls; sometimes up to 30 calls in the space of half an hour and then falsely accused her of cheating on him whenever she did not answer.
During one phone call, Bailey warned her: “You’ll get a car through your front window and I’ll stab you in the neck. You know what I’m capable of.”
When Cunliffe tried to end the relationship, Bailey threatened to kill her family.
A Manchester Magistrates’ Court sentenced him to six years in jail and also issued an injunction banning him contacting Miss Cunliffe for five years under the terms of a restraining order.
