Thug dragged crying ex through her home and punched her in the face after 'toxic and damaging' relationship
A man breached a lifetime restraining order after turning up to his ex’s home and punching her in the face. Teejay Etchells, 25, and the woman were described as having a ‘toxic and damaging’ relationship in which he had previously attacked her.
“On February 8 this year, Ms Gratty returned home and as she did, she realised the defendant was waiting for her by the bins of her home address,” the prosecutor said. Etchells then told her to ‘stop shouting or the neighbours will call the police’. He then apologised to her as she was ‘crying hysterically’, the court heard.
In a statement, Ms Gratty said the incident triggered her PTSD and caused her mental health to ‘peak’. She said she was anxious and scared to leave the house, stating she felt like she was ‘always looking over her shoulder’. Steven Sullivan, defending, said his client, who repeatedly interrupted proceedings, was ‘showing frustration’ at the breach offence due to the fact he had been ‘invited by the complainant’.
