“His cruel and callous actions caused his victim to suffer over two years, and he showed no empathy.
“I would like to thank the victim for her bravery coming forward and reporting what happened. Whilst the sentence can never undo Hallam’s atrocious actions, I hope it can help provide his victim with the first steps towards healing. It is thanks to her that a dangerous individual is now behind bars where he belongs.
“If you or a loved one has been affected by domestic abuse, please know that it is not your fault. It is the offender who is to blame.
“Please know that we are here, we will listen to you and we will do all we can to support you, and bring offenders to justice.
