A man who controlled women over a four-year period has been convicted of a string of charges, including rape, controlling or coercive behaviour, and actual bodily harm.
Portsmouth Crown Court heard that George De Bathe, 25, would cut the victims off from their family and friends and control them in a variety of different ways, including taking over their phones and social media, dictating what they wore and ate, and who they saw. He would threaten to kill himself and would even control their sleep, demanding that they constantly replied to his messages throughout the night.
