A 25-year-old man from Rhyl has been jailed for more than two years after admitting a series of violent and abusive offences against his former partner.
Maeson Hughes, of Maes Isaf, appeared at Mold Crown Court on Tuesday, 11 November, where he was sentenced to two years and one month in prison.
The offences took place over an 18-month period between February 2024 and August 2025.
The court heard that Hughes, who is originally from the Wrexham area, physically assaulted the woman on several occasions during their relationship.
He also threatened to kill her, accused her of being unfaithful and subjected her to verbal abuse, including derogatory comments about her appearance.
Hughes had previously admitted the offences.
The judge also imposed a seven-year Domestic Abuse Protection Order, preventing him from entering the victim's address, approaching her or contacting her by any means.
Detective Constable Kate Pollard said his behaviour demonstrated a sustained pattern of abusive and controlling behaviour.
She said domestic abuse could have a devastating and lasting impact on victims, both physically and psychologically, and praised the woman for her courage in coming forward and supporting the investigation.
North Wales Police says it remains committed to tackling domestic abuse and is urging anyone experiencing abuse, or concerned about someone else, to report their concerns.
