A 22-year-old man has been found guilty and sentenced in connection with controlling and abusive behaviour.

The crime took place towards a woman in the Stirling area between June 2021 and February 2022.

At the High Court in Kilmarnock, Ethan Graham was previously found guilty and sentenced to two years on Tuesday.

Detective Constable Ashley Willett stated: “Graham showed he was a controlling and violent man who abused the woman physically and sexually. There is no place for this kind of crime in our society and he will now face the consequences of his actions.

“I hope his victim can now move on with her life and that her bravery in coming forward will encourage others to report these kind of crimes, no matter when they happened.

“Any reports of physical and sexual abuse made to us are taken very seriously and we will offer support from specially trained officers to those who get in touch.

“I would urge anyone wishing to report these kind of crimes to call us on 101 or get in touch with one of our partner agencies.”
