Suspended Sentence for Stockport Man Who Admitted Coercive Control After Airport Arrest

Digital and CCTV evidence from more than 35,000 messages laid bare a sustained pattern of manipulation.

Overview

  • Coady, 27, pleaded guilty at Manchester Magistrates’ Court and received 16 weeks’ imprisonment suspended for 12 months.
  • He was given a five-year restraining order, must engage with probation on future relationships, and was ordered to pay £200 in compensation.
  • Police said the relationship involved forced deletion of social media, monitoring of online activity, restrictions on clothing, and isolation from friends and family.
  • CCTV at Manchester Airport on 19 August 2023 captured him throwing prosecco in Daisy Martin’s face and threatening to kill her before he was arrested on the plane.
  • Martin waived anonymity and described lasting psychological harm, while Detective Constable Elizabeth Andrews urged victims to report coercive control and highlighted Greater Manchester’s #IsThisOk? awareness effort.
