Speaking after yesterday’s sentencing at Liverpool Crown Court, DC Colette Robinson said:
“Potts subjected his former partner to a brutal and
sustained assault, which included the use of an ornament and glasses, that left
her with multiple injuries to her head, face, torso, legs and arm. Not only did
the victim’s six-year-old daughter witness her mother being attacked, she was
also kicked by Potts to the head herself when she tried to intervene to protect
her.
“This incident has had a profound effect on both the mother
and her daughter, both physically and psychologically.
“No one should ever have to suffer in silence, or feel that
they are alone. There is a great deal of professional advice and support out
there for people in unhappy, unhealthy, confrontational relationships and these
are available free of charge.
“Whether you are a man or a woman, you should not have to
suffer or endure verbal or physical abuse from a partner or relative.
