@offenceregister: Thirty-four-year-old Anthony Marks was jailed for thirty months in 2026 after subjecting his former partner to a campaign of coercive and controlling behaviour in Gloucestershire. Marks targeted a woman in her forties over several months, refusing to accept the end of their relationship. He repeatedly threatened to harm both himself and the victim, monitoring her daily routine, social media interactions, and isolating her from friends and family. Gloucestershire Constabulary launched an immediate investigation after the survivor bravely reported his actions using the force's Rapid Video Response service. Detectives from the Reactive Investigation Team conducted thorough enquiries and arrested Marks on the second of May. The investigating team worked methodically alongside specialized officers to preserve communication records and ensure he remained remanded in custody from the moment of his arrest. Specialized analysts prepared evidence detailing the profound psychological impact and destruction of trust caused by his actions. This thorough police work ensured that Marks entered a formal guilty plea before the court. Following proceedings at Gloucester Crown Court on the twenty-third of July 2026, Marks was sentenced for his crimes. The presiding judge handed down a thirty-month prison sentence alongside a ten-year restraining order prohibiting any contact with the victim. #AnthonyMarks #childprotection #offender #protectourkids #domesticabuse
