Jordan Porter was given a three-and-a-half-year jail term and an indefinite restraining order at the city’s magistrates court on Thursday, December 21.

The 25-year-old, of Bromford Lane in Washwood Heath, Birmingham, had admitted subjecting a woman to controlling and coercive behaviour and two counts of intentional strangulation. The restraining order prevents Porter from making contact with his victim. DC Helen Goode said: “Porter is a dangerous man who inflicted emotional and physical abuse onto his victim.

“I welcome his sentence and hope this sends a positive message that domestic abuse of any kind will not be tolerated. “I hope that the victim in this case can now move forward with her life feeling that Porter has got the sentence he deserves. “Her bravery in coming forward and supporting a prosecution has enabled us to get this conviction and I praise her for determination and courage.”
