A young mum has shared her harrowing experience of being relentlessly harassed by her ex-partner, Craig Bray, leaving her in constant fear for her life. Their relationship ended two years ago, but it was far from over in his mind. Bray, 28, from Newport, overwhelmed his ex with more than 140 phone calls in just one day, threatening grave harm. He chillingly warned he would “cut her up” and vowed he wouldn’t stop until she was “under.” The torment took a toll on her mental health, making it a struggle for her to even leave the house.
In a shocking incident, Bray threw a can of cherry coke over her and slapped her during an argument, believing she had been unfaithful. Matters escalated when he followed her around town and threatened to attack her father while demanding to see her at work. He even broke into a care home during this spree, taking a TV after falsely posing as a resident’s grandson.
Despite his erratic behaviour, Bray pleaded guilty to assault, harassment, and burglary, leading to a 932-day prison sentence. He’s now under a restraining order for the next decade. His lawyer claimed remorse, but his words and actions suggest otherwise.
