Interesting story, which is heavily snipped below…

‘Alex Skeel was a victim of mental and physical abuse at the hands of his ex-girlfriend Jordan Worth.  She was first UK female to be convicted of controlling or coercive behaviour.

              
               
       
       
       
           
       
       
       
           
       
       
  Jordan
Worth was the first female in the UK to be convicted of controlling or
coercive behaviour, along with GBH, and her former childhood sweetheart
now hopes to spread the message that women can be perpetrators of
domestic violence too.

’She was very caring, confident, loving,’ he says of the aspiring teacher. ‘She just showed a real interest in me.’

Despite
Alex’s friends describing Jordan as ‘delightful’ and her boyfriend as
‘quite smitten’, Alex’s mother Ged says it wasn’t long before her
behaviour ‘started to change’. ‘The longer they were together, and as the relationship grew, the mind games started playing,’

Alex says that the abuse started
off in the form of small remarks about his clothing and hair and later
became physical.

…..

Or the time she ruined Alex’s 18th birthday party by ‘screaming abuse’ at a female family friend who she had grown jealous of.

Alex
eventually tried to break things off, but Jordan came back with the
bombshell revelation that she was pregnant and returned to his life a
year later with baby Thomas J (‘TJ’) who was born in May 2014.

Sgt.
Ed Finn of Bedfordshire Police who arrested Jordan (pictured at her
graduation) said that for ’all intents and purposes she seemed like a
very nice lady’

Before
long, Jordan forced Alex to choose between her and his family, which
resulted in the young couple moving into their own home in Stewartby in
July 2016.

Things
went from bad to worse when Jordan forced her boyfriend to change his
phone number and threw away his PlayStation console to cut him off
further from his loved ones.

She even set up a fake Facebook account where she would send abusive messages to Alex’s friends in a bid to isolate him further.

Years
later, when police questioned Jordan, she would blame it on Alex,
saying: ‘He made it very clear he never wanted to see his family. ‘He said he hated his family and he doesn’t want to talk to his family. He wants nothing to do with his family.’

Alex
claims things deteriorated to the point where his girlfriend would
attack or assault him ‘every day’, and on one occasion she made him
swallow an entire packet of sleeping pills

Alex
returned home to his family where he was reunited with his children
and, in September 2017, Jordan was charged with 17 counts including GBH
and controlling coercive behaviour. On
13 April 2018 Jordan was given two seven-year sentences for wounding
with intent and GBH to be served concurrently at Luton Crown Court.

She
was also handed a consecutive sentence of six months for controlling or
coercive behaviour, becoming the first female in the UK to be convicted
of this charge.’
