Wells Man Jailed for ‘Gratuitous Degradation’ of Former Partner — Clare’s Law Advised

A man from Wells-next-the-Sea has been jailed after what a judge described as one of the most disturbing cases of domestic abuse he has ever encountered.

Charlie Nudds, 20, of Northfield Crescent, Wells-next-the-Sea, was sentenced at Norwich Magistrates’ Court after admitting to assault by beating and criminal damage.

The offences took place on January 8, when Nudds launched a prolonged and violent attack on his former partner, leaving her terrified for her safety. During the assault, he punched her in the face, bit her, spat at her, and pushed her into a cupboard. He also smashed up parts of her home, throwing objects and using items as weapons, while demanding that she “look at him.”

District Judge Matthew Bone condemned the assault as “one of the worst cases of domestic abuse charged as assault by beating that I have seen.” He described it as a “prolonged and persistent” attack that involved substantial force and acts of “gratuitous degradation.”

The court heard that the victim had endured repeated emotional and physical abuse throughout their three-year relationship, which began in 2020. In a powerful statement read to the court, she said the abuse left her feeling “trapped and powerless,” adding that it had destroyed her trust in people — “especially men.”

Judge Bone praised the victim for being “extremely brave” in coming forward and reading her statement in court.

Nudds was sentenced to four months in a youth offenders’ institute and made subject to a 10-year restraining order, banning any contact with the victim.

Given the seriousness of the case and the history of abusive behaviour, it is strongly advised that anyone considering a relationship with this individual make a Clare’s Law (Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme) request. This process allows police to disclose information about a person’s history of violence or abuse if it could help protect someone from harm.
