Chloe Robinson was subjected to a 'campaign' of abuse from 'cowardly' partner Leon Richmond
A woman who was throttled and stamped on by her boyfriend has urged fellow domestic abuse survivors to seek help. Chloe Robinson, from Bolton, was subjected to a 'campaign' of abuse from 'cowardly' partner Leon Richmond.
On Friday, Chloe bravely appeared in Minshull Street Court to watch Richmond be jailed for 28 months after he pleaded guilty to coercive and controlling behaviour, and common assault.Chloe told the Manchester Evening News she is looking forward to ‘getting on with my life’ after the year-long wait. The 27-year-old also encouraged other women in similar positions to her to take action and seek help against abusive partners.
Clare's Law - officially called the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme - allows police forces to disclose information to a potential victim and have a duty to protect members of the public from domestic abuse. They can come from a police force's obligation to tell a potential victim about a partner, or a request from a member of the public.
“She went to the bathroom, where he was trying to choke her and he stamped on her ribs.” Defending Richmond, who appeared in Minshull Street Crown Court via video link from Forest Bank prison on Friday, was Rachel White. She said: “There appears to be some genuine remorse.
