A man who subjected a woman to a "horrendous" campaign of domestic abuse has been ordered to tell police every time he enters a new relationship.
Kylle Godfrey is currently serving a three year prison sentence for the horrific campaign of domestic abuse during which he strangled his victim and banged her head on the floor.
He has now been hit by what is believed to be the first order of its kind to be made in England and Wales, requiring him to tell police if he is in a relationship for more than two weeks.
The seven-year orderallows officers to inform potential future partners of his previous violent behaviour towards woman under the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme.
Hackney detectives secured the Criminal Behaviour Order against Godfrey on Monday last week,
The 30-year-old, of North Circular Road, Neasden in Brent, was sentenced for attacking his partner over several days in October last year on Tuesday, February 14.
A court heard how he banged his victim’s head on the floor and strangled her, inflicting blunt force trauma injuries to her head.
Godfrey admitted to two counts of actual bodily harm, perverting the course of justice and witness intimidation.
He was sentenced to three years imprisonment at Wood Green Crown Court.
The order was made under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.
DI Jane Topping, of Hackney Community Safety Unit, said: “This order gives us a new way of protecting victims of domestic abuse and prevent other women from suffering at the hands of people like Godfrey, and help our efforts to tackle domestic violence.
“The victim in Godfrey’s case was subjected to a horrendous ordeal by him following a sustained campaign of domestic violence.
“She has shown incredible bravery in supporting our investigation, and I hope she feels safer now Godfrey is behind bars and will be subject to closer scrutiny.”
