The British man subjected to repeated domestic violence by his girlfriend

IAN MCNICHOLL
Ian McNicholl is a British man who faced a terrible ordeal at the hands of his former partner. Over the course of their relationship she alienated him from friends and family, took charge of the household accounts and violently attacked him on numerous occasions. She is now in prison serving a seven year sentence for causing grievous and actual bodily harm to him. Ian has decided to speak publicly about his trauma to challenge prejudices about male victims of domestic abuse.

She started with Russia's Mount Elbrus before working her way up to realising her dream of conquering Mount Everest. She's currently preparing for a big climb in Nepal to raise money for charity.
