Dundee man who abused partners over two decades put behind bars
38-year-old Steven Carr was found guilty of a string of offences against his three victims including assault and abduction
A Dundee man guilty of a string of offences against his former partners - including assault and abduction - has been sentenced to nearly five years in jail.
Steven Carr targeted three different partners over two decades - after a specialist police investigation revealed his crimes.
The 38-year-old has been given a 10 year non harassment order as well as 55 months behind bar.
Detective Inspector Muriel Fuller, who was part of the domestic abuse task force which highlighted the offences, said: "Following his sentence today, Steven Carr must now face the consequences of his horrendous behaviour.
"The victims who he offended against should be commended for their courage in coming forward.
"Their bravery throughout this process has directly led to the conviction of this cruel and controlling individual.
"His conviction and sentence gives a clear message that domestic abuse will be thoroughly and robustly investigated by Police Scotland.
"Nobody should have to suffer abuse in a domestic setting or at the hands of a partner."
