Control, Coercion, and Justice

A chilling tale of control and abuse: Maurice Magner, 44, sentenced to 17 years for a brutal campaign of coercive control, rape, and sexual assault against his former partner from 2019 to 2021. He stripped her of autonomy—removing lights, cutting off heat, dictating clothes and makeup, intercepting mail, and denying her painkillers and sanitary products after childbirth. The victim, now scarred and fearful, described being trapped, isolated, and stripped of dignity. The judge called it a calculated, oppressive regime designed to dominate every facet of her life. Magner refused to accept no-contact conditions, leading to a full sentence—but with a 14-day window to agree to a bond that could suspend the final two years. The court honored her courage and the devastating toll of his crimes. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
