‘Vile’ Middlesbrough domestic abuser jailed for tormenting woman

She added that his torrent of “vile, evil, sick messages” and the constant “pinging” of her phone made her feel like her head was going to explode.

“(Stone) is a very dangerous, evil, twisted and violent man who should not be allowed near women and children,” the woman said, adding that the “most worrying part” is that she still believed she was a victim of their relationship.

Judge Moran, said Stone, of Ordsall Green in Middlesbrough, had suffered abuse as a child, which affected his ability to form relationships as an adult, and had been assessed as posing a “high risk of serious harm to his partners”.

A restraining order was also issued prohibiting Stone from contacting the woman for 15 years.
