Coercive Control conviction takes place in Donegal

The first conviction in Ireland for the crime of coercive control has taken place in Donegal.

The accused man, who pleaded guilty, made nearly 6-thousand phone calls to his partner between March and June 2019.

He made her bring her phone everywhere so he knew where she was.

He has been jailed for 21 months.
