A woman who was beaten by her boyfriend of ten years wants nothing more than for him to stay away from her.
That was the woman’s tearful request when she appeared in the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court today.
She made the plea after she declined compensation via the court from her former boyfriend.
It came after Nicholas Ethan Jordan, of Upper Clevedale Development, Black Rock, St Michael pleaded guilty to assaulting her on June 16 occasioning her actual bodily harm. He was warned to stay away from the woman and placed on a bond for 12 months. If breached he will have to pay a forthwith fine of $1,500 or spend eight weeks in prison.
Police constable Kenmore Phillips said the two were involved in an argument in which Jordan accused the woman of being unfaithful and proceeded to beat her about the body with a belt.
She escaped and sought refuge at another house. Thinking the coast was clear she ventured outside only to be told that Jordan was in the area. She tried to escape but he pounced on her and started to beat on her, going as far as to kick her while she was on the ground.
Jordan told Magistrate Kristie-Cuffy Sargeant that he found out that the woman was cheating with two people.
“I am very sorry that my feelings got the best of me,” he said. But the magistrate made it clear to Jordan: “You don’t own her!”
He responded: “Yes I understand that but I love her so much. We have been together for ten years.”
That revelation did not move the magistrate.
“Not to the point that you hit and kick her. That is very degrading,” she said before imposing the bond and warning Jordan to stay away from the woman.

men need to stop this madness. and keep wunna hands to wunna self. and stop getting involve with some of these women who has no loyalty what so ever. you should glad to be free from the cheater bro.move on.
The court should also deal with the woman and the two men or women who horn the man. I agree he should not hit her but women have to stop horning men and vice versa. When a horn occurs it must be handled in a non violent manner. This horning does cause deaths.
barbados does nothing about domestic benevolence. The women need to watch out for these low class men that is looking for a mother. How he going to tell a woman what to do,if she want to date someone else he needs to walk away and move on. She should get someone to beat the s outta him also, because the courts just give him a slap on the hands. These men dont know what is love, jealousy and envy is not love. Get a friend or a family member to deal with his a.. if he come around you again, if you want to date someone else its your right.
that should be barbados dont take domestic violence serious, some of these men were abused when they were kids, so thats all they know. He needs to move forward, and realize the woman is not his property. If she wants to date someone else thats good,because the abuser needs to go, and get a friend or family member to teach him a lesson,because the courts did nothing. He needs like 7 weeks in prison, and give the woman some doctor money.
Before anyone can love someone, they first have to love themselves….Then they will have love to give to another person. Self-love is the greatest of all gifts but few people know what love is.
How can you say you love someone and then want to beat and kick them….That is not love !!
If he really loved her and she didnt want to be in the relationship anymore, true love would have allowed him to let her go, not beat her into submission. These old-fashioned ways of behaving NEED to go !! Love doesnt hurt anyone!!
