At the High Court in Kilmarnock today, 22-year-old Ethan Graham was sentenced to two years behind bars in connection with controlling and abusive behaviour towards a woman between June 2021 and February 2022.
Detective Constable Ashley Willett said: “Graham showed he was a controlling and violent man who abused the woman physically and sexually. There is no place for this kind of crime in our society and he will now face the consequences of his actions.
“I hope his victim can now move on with her life and that her bravery in coming forward will encourage others to report these kind of crimes, no matter when they happened.
“Any reports of physical and sexual abuse made to us are taken very seriously and we will offer support from specially trained officers to those who get in touch.
“I would urge anyone wishing to report these kind of crimes to call us on 101 or get in touch with one of our partner agencies.”
