A JEALOUS bully inflicted a violent four-month campaign of terror on a mother he met online.

Car wash manager Heman Mohammed, of Cae Cymric in Newtown, slapped, punched and stamped on his victim, persuading her to contact other men to fulfill his own sexual desires and then accusing her of cheating on him with them.

While she slept, he even used her fingerprint to unlock her phone and trawl her phone, looking for evidence of infidelity.

Now he has been jailed for two years after being convicted of controlling and coercive behaviour and assault and two charges of criminal damage. He was also handed five-year restraining order.

Prosecutor Eleanor Gleeson told Manchester Crown Court: “It was a relationship which was punctuated with episodes of verbal and physical violence towards (the victim) the aim of which was to control and degrade.”

Mohammed, 31, met the mother-of-two from Gorton, Manchester, online in September 2019 and she ‘reluctantly’ agreed to meet him in a city hotel room, unaware he had previous convictions for stalking and breaching a restraining order, the court heard.

The pair argued and the woman went home but Mohammed turned up to apologise, remaining there for three days despite being asked to leave.

She visited Newtown on September 13 last year but Mohammed began trawling through her mobile phone, urging her to contact her male friends.

Mohammed went to his victim’s house the next week and, when they weren’t together, he would FaceTime her and ask her who she was with. When she didn’t answer, he would become angry.

The woman suffered her first physical assault at Mohammed’s hands when she visited him at his Newtown home in October last year.

He claimed she was ‘showing me up’ and when she tried to leave he grabbed her wrists, threw her across a bedroom and slapped her across the face.

The second assault happened in November 2019 when Mohammed visited the woman’s house. He became angry when she began texting a male friend and he punched her to the face.

He would ‘demand’ sex from her and order her to ‘engage in explicit conversations with other men because it turned him on’, said Ms Gleeson.

On an occasion in December 2019, when Mohammed was again at the woman’s house, he started ‘screaming and shouting’ at her when he noticed she had ‘liked’ the photo of a man on Facebook. He punched her in the face and smashed up her phone and TV.

In a victim impact statement, the woman said she remained ‘scared’ of Mohammed.

Hugh McKee, defending, said his client had been diagnosed with ‘oppositional defiant disorder’ in 2018, adding that there were mental health problems “which may explain his behaviour in relation to women”.

Judge Elizabeth Nicholls said the case was ‘very distressing’ but she accepted the defendant had mental health problems ‘which are not being tackled’.

Mohammed, appearing in court via videolink, held his head in his hands as the sentence was delivered and waved to the judge as he left the room.

Earlier, he had sobbed as he protested his innocence to the judge, saying: “Give me a chance.”
