This is Callum Peacock. He battered his girlfriend with a golf club, threw bleach and paint at her, and burned a memorial shirt of her deceased grandmother but has avoided an immediate prison sentence.
The 19-year-old defendant, from St Helens, subjected his partner to a cruel three-hour ordeal inside their home.
Police officers arrived at the flat to find the victim covered in white paint and curled up in a ball on the bathroom floor.
She was audibly sobbing and shrieking through a hole in the door, which was still smouldering and smoking.
During the assault, the teenager hit her with a broom handle and a golf club before putting her in a chokehold from behind.
When she tried to hide in the bathroom, he smashed the door with the golf club and used an aerosol and a lighter to set fire to it.
He then threw dumbbells and a bottle of bleach at her, causing the liquid to splash onto her body.
In what was described in court as an extremely selfish act, he took hold of a memorial t-shirt featuring a photograph of her deceased grandmother.
He set fire to the garment right in front of her while telling her that her nan would rot in hell.
The attack came just two days after another incident where he struck his girlfriend with a hammer following an argument.
Following his arrest, he openly threatened his victim in front of police officers, stating that he was going to smash her face in when he got out.
But he has now walked free from court after a judge handed him an 18-month imprisonment suspended for 18 months.
The court heard he had already spent nearly five months in custody on remand, which the judge noted was the equivalent of a nine-month sentence for a teenager with no previous convictions.
He was also given a five-year restraining order and a rehabilitation activity requirement of up to 20 days.
Another kick in the teeth, metaphorically speaking to the brave young woman who endured his cowardly attacks.
The justice in this country cares more about the accused than the victims.
He got 18 months. Suspended entirely.
If you care about women you’d be rioting over the thousands of stories like this, you absolute scumbags.
It’s a testament to women’s restraint that we don’t.
A lot of men up in arms over the attack in North Belfast who have absolutely nothing to say femicide levels in NI, the most deadly place to be a women in the UK and Ireland.
Whipping up rage and anger because an immigrant is involved tells you everything about their motives.
This is the first conviction using the misogyny as hate crime framework - what he did was already a crime but now he will get a more serious sentence for having targeted this woman. Minimising his behaviour underlines exactly why we fought for this law because she must have been terrified. Ask for a kiss? He grabbed her hair and refused to take no for an answer. Do better @BBCNews
Sarah Everard was kidnapped, raped and murdered by a WHITE Police Officer.
Nigel Farage called for calm.
But when he can use racism he calls for Cold, Hard, Rage.
Robert Kenyon doesn’t know Reforms flagship policies.
The Great Repeal Bill “I’d have to have a real deep look into that.”
Scrapping the Equality Act “ I’d have to have a good look into it to see which protections.”
No wonder they have kept him away from the media.

I’m old enough to remember when Michael Gove, Priti Patel, Matt Hancock, James Bethel, Lady Mone and Rishi Sunak were at the heart of a VIP scheme to procure £9bn worth of useless PPE from companies with no experience.
Now, about the camper van …
A reminder that no serious historian, academic or anyone who has spent even minutes looking at Nazi Germany agrees with this. Hitler locked up the left, denounced the left. He was not a 'hardcore socialist.'
The only people who say this are... Nazi sympathizers & the far right.
Some notes on my work ethic:
-I last voted in Parliament on 18 March, so I haven’t done my job for ten weeks.
-I’ve never held any face-to-face constituency surgeries, despite apparently having £5 million to spend on security.
-I refuse to do interviews or face press scrutiny of any sort.
-when I was in the European Parliament I had the 4th worst attendance record out of 748 MEPs.
-although I did manage to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
-I was on the Fisheries Committee but I only turned up to ONE out of 42 meetings.
-but I will of course be taking my £73,000 EU pension.
Vote Reform, get lazy, grifting, self-serving sacks of shit.
