What sentence will my partner get for GBH ???

[Jenni_luvved]

I have recently been harrassed by a man, he kept emailing me, phoning me, and then turning up at my house, leaving me presents. He kept sayin he is in love with me etc, i barely even know him and i was getting really freaked out and upset by the whole thing. My fiance of 2 years has an agression problem, a few months ago he went to prison for 14 weeks for committing assault and battery. Yesterday, this man turned up at my house again and started pestering me, i told him to leave me alone, and i was upset. My partner saw red and went out side, he punched him a few times. I saw the mans face, i think his nose was broken and his eye was bleeding and his lip was split. I know he has pressed charges and gone to hospital as i called him to find out, but he told me that and hung up and wont speak to me.

I am so angry and worried. I couldnt sleep last night and i feel constantly on edge waiting for the police to turn up and take my partner away. I am 99% certain he will go back to prison for this and im terrified of being without him again, its the most unbearable feeling. Ive had such a bad year so far, im dreading this.

I dont know what to think, the worst part is that i have no idea how long he wil get. Ive read that people can get life imprisonment for gbh ???? Or up to 5 years. Im so destraught right now, as he is all ive got and i cant bear to be away from him again.

Can anyone tell me what a likely sentence wil be ??

Please, if u have an idea let me know, as im clueless.

Thanx, Jeni

Get your holiday to the Bahamas booked now!

I hope they throw the book at him. Nothing, absolutely nothing, excuses violence on that scale, unless he 's a paedo. I'll make a dishonourable exception for that scenario.

i only put it in different places as i didnt no which catagory it should go under, sorry, ohh and btw, that last comment int very nice

[unruliejulie]

Jenni, do you really want to be with a man who has such an aggresive nature. He could have spoke to this bloke, firmly! I do understand that you must have been frightened but its not the best option to react to someone in this way. If he doesn't get put away then maybe he should enroll on an anger mangement course. All the best

Hi Jenni,

Sorry i don't have any advice, just want to say that i hope everything turns out ok!
I noticed that you had some rude replies & i don't know why. You obvioulsy love your boyfriend & are worried.

As for posting your question twice, does it really matter! You are obvioulsy very anxious & i don't blame you. Although i do think your boyfriend could do with some anger manangement help!

Keep us updated & i hope everything works out ok!

[Jenni_luvved]

Thanx fayelc123, im glad some people understand how i feel. Wel we stil havnt heard from the police as of yet, so im none the wiser as 2 whats going on. My boyfriend is currently getting help 4 his anger anywaybut these things take time

Hi Jenni.......Has he actually pressed charges?If not,or still do,go to the police and tell them about him STALKING you,because that is a serious offence as well and get an injunction out on him...Also,if there are no witnesses,tell your guy to deny it,stalkers word against your boyfriends..One plus you can have from it,if he pressed charges,they would have been for him by now...Hope everything works out...And ignore the other dib dobs,sometimes slapping a pest is the only thing...Good luck..

[unruliejulie]

emkay what is a dib dob??????

[emkay]

It wasnt aimed at you unruliejulie,and i also understand that violence is not the answer,but when its family,partners,etc people tend to see red and some do go over the top....But that guy had no right whatsoever to make someones life a misery and i think its worse mentally than what he got physicaly...And a dib dob...well i dont really know!!

[unruliejulie]

Thanks emkay, just needed to clarify that. Glad you dont know either!!!! lol violence isnt the answer but i can see where he was coming from, unfortunately, it has probably made the whole situation worse!

[Jenni_luvved]

Well nuthins happened as of yet, the police havt been for him so i really have no idea whats going 2 happen, im starting 2 think he hasnt contacted the police but im not going 2 b 2 sure of that, as u never no, either way i wil keep u updated xx

[Jenni_luvved]

Ohh and also, I havnt told the police about him stalking me simply because i got sexually assaulted once a couple of years back and wen i went 2 the police, it was denyed and they didnt believe me, i went thru hell goin 2 court and everythin, and in the end i just got no justice, and its put me off goin 2 the police again, as i dont want people 2 think im just attention seeking.

Also, I have thought a lot about what if my boyrfriend ever turned on me, 2 b honest i doubt he will, my ex beat me up 2 and so i am very edgy sometimes and paranoid, but i think all i can do is trust that he wont, and if he ever did, wel i suppose it would have 2 end
