Peaky Blinders star who beat up women he met online and wooed them with grand gestures avoids jail after changing his name
A PEAKY Blinders extra who beat up women he met online has escaped jail after changing his name and failing to appear in a background check.
Cox allegedly concocted an elaborate web of deceit around his victims - claiming to be an actor, a boxer, a CBD oil company owner and even posing as one of the women's jealous exes online. She believes Cox slipped through the net because he changed his name by deed poll - calling himself Bart Milben, Darren Berry and other variations of these.
And just months before meeting Jen, 28, last year, he'd also pleaded guilty to attacking another woman in Newcastle while on a night-out - but walked free after paying a £600 fine.Also known as Domestic Violence Closure Scheme, Clare's Law is intended to provide information that could protect someone from being a victim of attack.
Lyndsey, from Melksham, Wiltshire, said: "He was everything you see in romcoms: rose-petal baths, cooking dinner, brilliant with the kids. And so believable - the lies and everything. Cox said he was "mortified" by what had happened but denied treating women badly - despite acknowledging the convictions.He denied creating fake LinkedIn profiles to pose as the game show producers but admitted to having 'a number of' Facebook profiles under various names."It was for a fresh start and a sign of a new me, but I did it at a time when I was very confused about myself and I didn't have all my diagnoses.
