A former Nantwich DJ has been sentenced for controlling and coercive behaviour.

Marcus Adlard appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday 6 November where he was sentenced to two years and six months in prison.

The 29-year-old of Madeley Street, Crewe, was earlier found guilty by a jury of two counts of controlling and coercive behaviour.

Marcus was a former resident DJ at Studio Nantwich.

Police Constable Liam Sharples said: "Adlard's calculated and manipulative behaviour has thankfully been brought to an end because of the bravery of this victim in speaking to police about what happened to her.

"The sentence handed to Adlard reflects the seriousness of his crimes and that such behaviour will not be tolerated.

"No-one should have to endure what the victim experienced, and I would urge anyone in a similar position to contact us."
