🚨 Shocking Case: Newport Man Jailed for Vicious Attacks 🚨
David Seaborne, 52, has been sentenced to 20 years following harrowing revelations of repeated assaults on a woman. Convicted on seven counts of rape and threats to kill, Seaborne left his victim living in constant fear. In court, it was revealed how he brandished an axe and threatened her life, leaving her feeling ‘dead inside’.
The victim bravely shared her ordeal in a personal statement, recounting how her life was overshadowed by fear and threats: “I begged him to stop…now I jump at my own shadow.” Her powerful testimony highlighted the severe psychological damage she endured.
Seaborne’s previous violent offences and history of self-medicating with amphetamines were highlighted in court, painting a picture of a man with significant issues. Despite his difficult past, the judge emphasised the grave impact on the victim, stating there was “no escape” from the torment.
The court also issued a restraining order, prohibiting Seaborne from contacting the victim, providing some relief as she begins to rebuild her life.
A reminder of the importance of standing against domestic violence and supporting those affected. 🌟
