Andrew Griffiths used 'coercive and controlling behaviour', a family court judge hears.

A former Conservative minister has been found to have raped and physically abused his wife.

The judge made findings in favour of Ms Griffiths but decided that they should not be made public, in order to protect the child at the centre of the family court proceedings. She said she waived her right to anonymity "because I recognise the unique position I am in to campaign to improve the outcomes of cases such as this, for those who endure domestic violence, and the actions taken to protect the children involved".

The judge said Ms Griffiths had "proved in her oral evidence to me" that Mr Griffiths "did rape her when sexual intercourse took place".Ms Griffiths said rapes had begun while she was asleep.

Oh god what's wrong with these people in parliament

“parliamentary standards watchdog” clearly not fit for purpose having earlier found no evidence and cleared him of any wrongdoing coverup

Sean coughlan Walsall ex labour CLLR was accused and found guilty of child sex offences,the second labour councillor to be found guilty of this crime,but BBC love to concentrate on the Torys.Andrew wasn’t found guilty but the judge preferred the wives answer.I hope it’s not true

Is there even one among them who is not entirely disgusting?

'Found to have'?

Family court judge (scum in their own right) claims someone is guilty without evidence. Considering the amount of suicides due to emotional abuse / coercive control & parental alienation, when do we start holding women perps & judges accountable for the deaths they cause

Than i hate marriage. be handsome well dressed !than everyday different taste

Why is this news?

Jail him

Tories gonna Tory......

What a monster! My goodness!!

If your concern is for your child then you don’t Rape the child’s mother when she’s asleep. And you don’t expect that you can take someone and have it kept private. Because you are a risk to the public & to the next woman you pick up.

Wtf

Editorial: Be careful what you wish for – Johnson’s successor could be even worseEditorial: The prime minister’s replacement, chosen by Tory MPs and about 200,000 mostly reactionary members, is not going to be a liberal Especially if its Raab, Payel or Gove. This Government thinks the rules don't apply to it. And the Christmas party, Barnard Castle and sleaze scandals only scratch the surface They’re all as bad as each other. So what if Sunak or a Gove take over. We will hold them to account just as much. Then the public will make the judgment at the next election. Even more of a liar?
