Including ice baths and 3KG dumbbell beatings, Paul Pallet Nuneaton Rapist thug committed a record of violence against his former lover. According to police, Paul Pallet, a town resident, subjected his ex-partner to ‘years’ of mistreatment.
The 39-year-old would have his victim—who has not been named—sleep on the stairs, therefore leaving bruise scars on her flesh. He would also make her stand by the front entrance or spend protracted time sitting straight on the sofa. Should she nod out, he would attack her.
The woman told police how Paul Pallet struck her feet with a 3 kg dumbbell in January 2023 and kept attacking them with tools like a hammer during the following days.
Her foot developed a fracture from this. But cruelly, he refused her access to medical treatment, isolating her from her family and friends, only giving her one meal a day and forcing her to take ice showers.
One attack knocked the woman down and broke her arm. Paul Pallet insisted on her not leaving A&E until eight days later.
However, Paul Pallet’s mistreatment stopped when police visited his house in September last year following concerns for her safety involving his ex-partner. Specifically, skilled domestic violence investigators started an inquiry to make sure the victim received support.
Paul Pallet was arrested, charged, and then remanded in detention the next day. Working with the victim, specially educated police guided her on domestic abuse charities that may provide both psychological and pragmatic guidance on topics including finances and accommodation.
Using this, the authorities unearthed years of mistreatment. Living in Redditch, Pallett was jailed to seven years and two months at Warwick Crown Court last week.
Paul Pallet had entered a guilty plea to two counts of coercive and controlling behaviour, one crime of severe bodily harm, one count of deliberate strangling, and two counts of assault. Also given with a twenty-year restraining order was he.
Speaking following the court sentence, Nuneaton specialist domestic abuse investigator Detective Constable Erin McGovern said: “I would want to applaud the bravery of the victim who cooperated with us to gain the conviction of a very dangerous individual.
“She has shown tremendous bravery; I hope this will comfort other victims of domestic violence that we are here to listen to and will help to keep you safe.
“This research and sentence shows our emphasis on addressing crime disproportionately affecting women and girls to guarantee their safety in Warwickshire.
