A man from Swansea has been jailed after he was found guilty of rape.
35-year-old Yogesh Parmar, from Mount Pleasant, pleaded not guilty to the offence but was found guilty on January 26.
Parmar was also found guilty of engaging in coercive/controlling behaviour, having also pleaded not guilty to this offence.
He has been sentenced to 11 years in prison.
Detective Constable Lauren Williams said:
“Yogesh Parmar raped his victim and also made her fear that he would be violent towards her on multiple occasions. He physically assaulted her, prevented her from leaving his home and also threatened to destroy her property.
“This was a harrowing ordeal for the victim, who we commend for her bravery in coming forward and reporting Yogesh Parmar’s crimes.
“We hope that with this verdict and sentencing, the victim can now finally come to terms with what Yogesh Parmar did to her, and move on with her life, free from fear of what he would do next.”
