❌DANIEL CARTLEDGE – HULL❌

Hull Man Admits Multiple Assault and Strangulation Offences – Sentencing Set for November

Daniel Jay Cartledge admitted a series of violent offences committed against his former partner. The case, which has been ongoing since 2020, involves repeated incidents of physical assault, suffocation, coercive behaviour, and breaches of court orders.

According to the victims account, the relationship became dangerous very quickly. Within months, she was experiencing escalating violence, intimidation, and control. The abuse took many forms — physical assaults, emotional manipulation, sexual coercion, financial control, and persistent psychological torment.

During her pregnancy, the violence intensified. She describes several incidents where he tried to kill her, alongside repeated attacks that left her in constant fear. What should have been a period of safety and protection was instead marked by trauma and instability.

Since 2020, Daniel Cartledge has repeatedly breached restraining orders and has been in and out of prison for offences linked to ongoing violence and harassment towards her. According to safeguarding records, he has also demonstrated obsessive behaviour, a pattern of dangerous jealousy, and an ongoing disregard for court-imposed boundaries.

There is also a documented history of him engaging in relationships characterised by infidelity and inappropriate contact with significantly younger girls, adding further concerns about risk to others.

– September 2024

At a hearing on 23 September 2024 at Hull Crown Court, Cartledge pleaded guilty to the following charges:
• Three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, contrary to section 47 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861.
• Strangulation, contrary to section 75A(1)(b) of the Serious Crime Act 2015.
• Suffocation, contrary to section 75(1)(a) of the Serious Crime Act 2015.
• Breach of a restraining order, contrary to section 363(1) of the Sentencing Act 2020.

Following his guilty pleas, the defendant was remanded into custody,

Background to the Case – Previous Proceedings in 2020

Court records show that Cartledge previously appeared at Hull Crown Court in June 2020 for an earlier series of offences committed between June 2019 and April 2020.

He was charged at that time with:
• Controlling and coercive behaviour
• Possession of an offensive weapon
• Two counts of assault causing actual bodily harm
• Two offences of making threats to kill

At the June 2020 hearing, Cartledge pleaded guilty to:
• Assaulting the victim on 22 April
• Threatening to kill her on 25 April
• Possessing a kitchen knife in a public place on 26 April
• Using controlling and coercive behaviour over an extended period between June 2019 and April 2020

The prosecution determined that the guilty pleas were sufficient for sentencing, meaning the two remaining charges of threats to kill were left to “lie on file” and were not pursued further.

The court also noted that steps were being taken to arrange a restraining order to protect the victim.

Clare’s Law – Why It Applies in This Case

Clare’s Law, officially the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme (DVDS), allows police to disclose a partner’s history of violence or abuse if it is necessary to protect someone from harm.
