A young woman has been scarred for life in a horrific attack in a Glasgow hotel.
Manipulative William Weir knocked Jordana Rutherfurd unconscious at the Citizen M, leaving her both physically and mentally "damaged", the Daily Record reports.
The terrifying incident unfolded at the Renfield Street Hotel in November 2019, when Jordana was just 17.
She has spoken out after Glasgow Sheriff Court found him guilty of assault.
Now 20, Jordana, recalled the terrifying ordeal, that she says led to her attempting to take her own life.
She said: "What I went through that night was absolutely terrifying.
"The situation itself was horrible, but mentally and physically I'm still damaged. I still have nightmares about what happened in that room.
"I've been left with a massive scar on my head that is a daily reminder of what he done to me.
"I honestly thought I loved William. But now I know it wasn't love. Our relationship was toxic. It was constant arguments and fights.
"He had slapped and pushed me a few times before, but he was always so apologetic and said it would never happen again.
"Sadly I believed him. He had total control over me.
" Looking back I know he controlled me. I was brainwashed by him.
"He was manipulative and aggressive. He told me who I could and couldn't see and I allowed it to happen. I was young and naive and I just wish I had listened to the people around me who told me I deserved better."
Weir, 22, from Larkhall, was charged with pushing Jordana on the body, pulling her hair and striking her on the head causing her to lose consciousness all to her injury and permanent disfigurement.
After reports of a disturbance, shop assistant Jordana, said emergency services raced to the couple's hotel room and found her lying on the floor in a pool of her own blood.
She claims 'drunk' Weir had became aggressive and threatened to kill himself after she told him she wanted to split up.
She said: "We had been at a concert in the O2 Academy and I actually watched him kiss someone else right in front of me. He was so drunk and being really disrespectful.
"I left on my own and headed back to the hotel.
"A wee while later he came back too. After me telling him I didn't want to be with him anymore he got so aggressive.
"He first of all said he was going to kill himself, but after his pathetic attempts failed, he turned on me.
"I bent down to help him take his shoe off and he pushed me across the room. I only weighed six stone at the time so I went flying.
"The next thing I know he was on top of me pulling my hair and then he hit me on the head with something.
"He knocked me out. I don't know what else he done to me when I was unconscious, but when I woke up I was covered in blood and in agony.
"I was so scared.
"The police and paramedics were there, but he was nowhere to be seen. He had fled before they arrived apparently."
Jordana was rushed to a nearby hospital where she was treated for the injuries to her head and face.
She claims Weir hit her so hard that her nose piercing had to be removed from inside her nostril after she was rushed to hospital.
She added: "It was so indented in my nose that they had to go inside and pick it out.
"The massive cut on my head needed stitches. I had black eyes, my lip had been burst and was so swollen and I had a cut at the side of my eye."
Jordana is now warning other people of the dangers of being in a 'toxic' relationship.
She said: "I'm sharing my story for no other reason but to pray that what happened to me may prevent this from happening to other girls. Those red flags, take them seriously.
"The nights when they get too drunk and then scream and push you. Take it seriously girls and boys, please.
"Domestic abuse is far too common these days, but I promise you are not alone, and it does get better."
Weir was released on bail whilst awaiting sentencing on April 4.
Jordana added: "It's been a long few years waiting for him to pay for what he done to me, so I'm just so relieved that he was found guilty. I've been branded a liar and now people know what he done and who he really is."
