A man who throttled a woman he met on Tinder pleaded guilty to non-fatal strangulation, an offence created on June 7 to protect victims of domestic abuse.
A thug who throttled a woman he met on Tinder has become one of the first people to be jailed under a new law.
The 32-year-old grabbed the woman’s throat and held on for nearly five minutes while dragging her from the top of the stairs into the bedroom of her home in Spalding, Lincolnshire. Hurting someone by choking them was already against the law under offences such as assault and battery, but campaigners warned a lack of injuries was causing many prosecutions to fall through.
