Mansfield man 'bullied' partner- smashing her head against brick wall

She ended up with head injuries but refused to complain about the behaviour of Corey Robinson, 20, Nottingham Crown Court heard.

Later Robinson was seen attacking her and witnesses alerted police officers."He smashed her head against a brick wall. He said 'look what you have made me do,'" Miss Summers told the court.Robinson of Kirton Court, Mansfield later said the woman had "punched herself."

Miss Summers added: "There is no witness statement from her. She was not willing to engage with the police throughout the investigation."The complainant is fairly petite and vulnerable in these circumstances. The coercive behaviour was intended to cause fear and distress."Katrina Wilson, mitigating, said: "I don't want to overstate this but they had two-way arguments."The relationship is over. Robinson had been in custody awaiting his sentence and Miss Wilson told the court that he has attended courses."He is recognising bullying and the rights and responsibilities of people," she said, describing the offences as "a wake-up call."While in custody, his father had died and he had to seek permission to attend his funeral. That caused "added shame" to Robinson, added MissWilson.
