Coercive Control Led to 17-Year Sentence

A man named Maurice Magner has been sentenced to seventeen years for a chilling two-year campaign of coercive control and sexual violence against his former partner. He isolated her, controlled her finances, clothing, and even basic necessities like heating and light bulbs, while threatening her family and denying her pain medication and sanitary products after childbirth. The victim bravely testified about being treated as an object, stripped of dignity and trapped in fear. Despite initially refusing to agree to no-contact terms, Magner eventually returned to court, and the judge stressed the need for her to rebuild her life free from harassment. His sentence includes two suspended years on the condition he never contacts her again — a stark reminder of the devastating toll of domestic abuse and the courage it takes to speak out.
