A woman endured severe abuse from her partner, leading to injuries and financial struggles, as he was sentenced to prison for his actions.
She got hurt multiple times. Once, he pushed her off a bed, damaging her foot. She had to quit her job as a hairdresser because standing was too painful.
In another incident, he threw a cigarette at her face, burning her lip. Things got worse when he choked her during an argument.
Harvey even threatened to harm himself to stop her from reporting him. The woman felt trapped and blinded by love, trying to help him despite the abuse.
In court, she shared her pain, saying she needed to move on for her kids. Harvey admitted to his controlling behavior and got a prison sentence of over three years.
The judge also gave him a 20-year restraining order. He hopes the woman can heal with support from her friends and family.
