A sick brute inflicted horrific abuse on his girlfriend, including urinating all over her and breaking her leg for 'chatting to other men'.
Peter Sharp was jailed for four years after admitting a depraved catalogue of physical and mental abuse against his partner.
In one incident when the couple went to the cinema, Sharp accused her of chatting to other men.
Later the 37-year-old kicked her so violently, the blow broke her leg.
A court heard how Sharp also repeatedly punched his girlfriend, pulled her hair, and went through her phone.
Sharp, of Hartlepool in County Durham, pled guilty to a range of offences at Teesside Crown Court on Friday, reported Teesside Live.
He admitted controlling or coercive behaviour, actual bodily harm, grievous bodily harm, three counts of common assault, and causing a danger to road users by interfering with a vehicle.
Shaun Dodds, prosecuting, said Sharp’s most serious attack happened on August 27 last year after the cinema visit.
The court heard how Sharp left early to buy some cocaine before accusing the woman of speaking to other men.
Mr Dodds said the victim was driving them home when Sharp grabbed hold of her hair and dragged her out of the car.
He said he kicked her with such force he broke her leg and the impact lifted her off the ground.
Sharp later launched a second attack on his girlfriend when she was driving by grabbing the steering wheel causing her to crash into a parked car.
The prosecutor said the woman took herself to bed on another occasion because Sharp had assaulted her, but he woke her up and punched her in the face.
Mr Dodds added: “She even tried to climb out a bedroom window such was her fear of further violence but he pulled her back and she fell to the floor.”
The court heard Sharp then urinated over his girlfriend, poured water on her, and spat at her.
Defending Sharp, Stephen Constantine said that his client was on drugs - which he took to cope with a number of bereavements - when he carried out the attacks.
Mr Constantine said Sharp was now drug-free and mentors others in prison where he had been on remand since last September.
Sharp’s defence barrister said: “He is sorry for his behaviour. He’s taken some steps to try to address it and he assures the court and [his partner] through me, there will be no repeat.”
Jailing Sharp, Judge Howard Crowson said: “Your partner experienced quite appalling pain and suffering at your hands and she has been particularly mentally harmed for a period of two-and-a-half years.”
