Man Sentenced for Paralyzing Partner

Robert Easom, a 57-year-old from Lancashire, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for paralyzing his partner, Trudi Burgess, during a brutal assault. Easom claimed it was play fighting, but evidence showed he severed her spinal cord. Over eight years, he subjected Trudi to coercive control, verbal abuse, and physical attacks, leaving her with severe injuries and permanent disability. Easom admitted to coercive control and two counts of actual bodily harm, and was found guilty of grievous bodily harm. Trudis family shared the devastating impact of the abuse, and police urged anyone in abusive relationships to seek help.
