A 48-year-old man has been sentenced to more than two years behind bars after admitting to strangling a person and threatening to share an intimate image of them.
Geraint Hopwood, of Kinmel Bay, pleaded guilty to intentional strangulation, criminal damage and threatening to share an intimate photograph or film of a person.
The sentencing
He appeared at Mold Crown Court on Friday, where he was handed a prison sentence of two years and three months. A further concurrent six-week sentence was also imposed for the criminal damage offence.
