A man, Allan Law Faversham Domestic Abuser, has been imprisoned after physically and sexually mistreating a lady while dictating her daily actions.
Extremely jealous, Allan Law tracked the victim’s social media activity for several months in 2022 and harassed her constantly when she was not with him.
He limited her movements, controlled her access to medication, and attacked her, thereby making it quite impossible for her to get in touch with relatives or coworkers.
October 2022 saw the victim obtain a restraining order against Law; he broke it several times by phoning and visiting her.
Allan Law was charged and detained in February 2023 concerning this behaviour.
On April 29, he was once more detained when police discovered he had attacked the victim and was stopping her from exiting a cupboard at his house address.
Later on, he was accused of many charges, spat in a jail van, and attacked an officer while under detention. The girl then told police she had been sexually assaulted. He made 63 more calls to the victim while being remanded in prison.
Allan Law of Nicholas Road, Faversham, admitted several breaches of a restraining order, assaulting an emergency worker, and criminal damage to a police car before Maidstone Crown Court.
He entered not guilty to several more charges and, at the same court on December 6, 2023, was found guilty of rape, coercive and controlling behaviour, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and false imprisonment.
The 35-year-old received an extended 14-year sentence on Monday, 29 July 2024. He will also be serving on licence for three further years.
Allan Law is also obliged to sign the Sex Offenders Register for an unlimited term and has a restraining order.
Investigating officer, Detective Constable Lucy Baker said: ‘This criminal put a vulnerable woman through an appalling ordeal and, when she sought to escape his attentions by gaining a court order, he continued his vile conduct.
‘Allan Law was a violent and manipulative bully who did not hesitate to use threats and intimidation to gain complete control over his victim. He is now in prison, and I would like to commend the victim for having the courage to contact us and assist our investigators in bringing him to justice. I hope she can recover her health and start to rebuild her life.’
Detective Constable Bethany Honess, who also worked on the investigation, added: ‘Violence against women and girls is a priority for Kent Police, and I would encourage anyone who is a victim to come forward. Nobody should suffer this kind of ordeal and feel they cannot escape. It is important to remember you are not alone and that if you don’t want to contact the police, several support agencies and charities are available who will always listen and can help.’
