'Be under no illusions about how close you have come to prison today': Greater Manchester criminals who avoided jail by a whisker
One of the most difficult decisions judges face is whether a criminal should be sent to jail. In some cases their crimes mean that a prison sentence is inevitable.
Shouting, banging and crashing could be heard as Nelis ripped a TV off the wall. It is not clear exactly how the child came to be injured, but vodka fuelled Nelis accepted 'full responsibility' for inflicting the injuries. After meeting online and starting a relationship, Roberts quickly became controlling and abusive. She was subjected to a torrent of verbal abuse as well as violence over a three year period.
Roberts, of Blackpool, was sentenced to 20 months in prison, suspended for two years. He was ordered to complete the Building Better Relationships course, undertake 200 hours of unpaid work and pay his former partner £1,500 in compensation. He admitted offences of displaying controlling and coercive behaviour, putting a person in fear of violence by harassment and disclosing private sexual images with intent to cause distress.
But in an interview with police two weeks later when she knew about the incident, she maintained her lie and claimed the car had been stolen. Sarfraz, who runs a successful make up brand, sometimes 'lambasted' him and urged him to get a legitimate job, but on other occasions she actively helped him, the court heard.
