A man who was abused by his partner says he's 'disappointed' after she received a suspended sentence.
"Females can be perpetrators, public opinion is vital, and changing the narrative is key and that stigmatisation is out there in society around how males are not seen as victims of domestic violence. It shows this can happen and more people do need to come forward and speak out about this." Following the call, an investigation was launched by detectives in Northwich CID and Rigby was later charged.
Only 4.7% of victims of domestic abuse being supporting by local domestic services are men according to SafeLives data. This highlights how few men are being supported by local domestic abuse services.In 2021/22, 18 men died at the hands of their partner or ex-partner compared to 60 women. For men, it is the highest figure since 2008/09 and doubles that from 2019/20. It is one man every three weeks.
“Although she eventually pleaded guilty to her offending, she has shown no remorse for her actions. While the victim will never be able to forget what happened to him, I hope that the conclusion of this case will help him to move forward and start to rebuild his life.”Gareth now hopes his case can act as a catalyst to change the way people think about domestic abuse, when men are the victims.
