**Serial Abuser Sentenced: Third Victim in Six Years**
In a shocking case, 34-year-old Nicky Gould is facing justice once again. This time, for threatening to kill his ex-partner and her children. This marks the third partner Gould has abused in the past six years.
On May 28th, an argument at the home of his ex in Neath escalated, leading to alarming threats via messages. Gould’s aggressive behaviour included vile insults and terrifying threats of violence. Concerned for her safety, the victim contacted the police, resulting in Gould’s arrest.
Despite denying the allegations, Gould has a troubling history with a string of previous convictions. This includes assaults, harassment, and violating restraining orders. His repeated offences highlight a severe issue with violence towards women.
In court, the judge didn’t mince words, labelling Gould’s actions as “horrendous threats”. Given the track record, there was no tolerance for his behaviour. Gould’s lawyer cited alcohol misuse and recent personal revelations as reasons behind his violent streak, but the judge remained firm.
Sentencing Gould to 15 months, the judge emphasised it’s high time for him to grow up and confront his “major problem” with women.
