Andrew Gray, a 43-year-old resident of Nottingham, has been sentenced to prison for two violent assaults against a woman, highlighting the serious nature of domestic violence. The first incident involved Gray, who was heavily intoxicated, when he violently slammed the woman's head against the walls of a bedroom. Despite inflicting significant injuries, he refused to take her to the hospital and attempted to cover her wounds with Sellotape, indicating a frightening level of denial about his actions.

A month later, Gray assaulted the same woman again, this time kicking and punching her while under the influence of vodka. The victim recounted that she perceived Gray as resembling 'the Incredible Hulk,' indicating her fear of his unpredictable violent behavior. These incidents not only showcase Gray’s brutal tendencies but also reveal the psychological toll such violence has on victims, as the woman lived in constant fear following these attacks.

This case underscores the urgent need for addressing domestic violence and providing support for victims. Gray had only recently been released after serving a six-year sentence for a prior robbery, which involved threatening another woman with a machete in front of her young child. His repeated offenses raise serious concerns about his rehabilitation and the effectiveness of the justice system in preventing repeat offenders from committing further violence against vulnerable individuals.
