A violent bully who menaced and brutally attacked his ex-girlfriend has been warned that he had hope "that his young daughter, doesn't meet a man like you."

He left the "petrified" woman "utterly terrified" after repeatedly threatening to kill her and using "unrestrained, serious and repeated violence".

The victim even climbed out onto a slippery roof to get away from him, but fell off.

She was "genuinely in complete fear for her life" - and he also knocked another woman's teeth out during a separate violent assault, a court heard.

Father-of-four Jamie Madsen, 34, of Convamore Road, Grimsby, admitted assaulting a woman, causing actual bodily harm, on January 18.

He was convicted by a jury of another assault, causing actual bodily harm, against her on the same day and making threats to kill her.

Madsen admitted a separate offence of assaulting another woman, causing actual bodily harm, on October 22.

Recorder Peter Makepeace QC told Madsen at Grimsby Crown Court: "You have a very, very bad record for violence."

The ex-girlfriend would have been "utterly terrified" during the "prolonged and sustained" incident in her own home.

Madsen made threats to kill her over a long period of time, punctuated by acts of "unrestrained, serious and repeated violence" and she was "genuinely in complete fear for her life".

The "petrified" woman climbed out on to a slippery roof in a bid to escape because of the threats to kill her but fell on to the ground.

Madsen had shown no ability to control his behaviour over the text messages and Whatsapp messages he sent to her.

"You are a vicious individual," said Recorder Makepeace.

"You have been towards her extremely vicious. You are a frightening individual from her perspective.

"You pose a very real threat to any woman you come into contact with. You did indeed think she was your possession to do exactly what you wanted to do with her."

Madsen had a young daughter who would be affected by what he had done to her mother.

"You had better hope to God she doesn't meet a man like you," said Recorder Makepeace.

The court heard that there was a separate incident when Madsen invited people to his flat at 2am but he asked them to leave after arguing broke out.

It continued outside and he told a woman to shut up. Another woman heard this and he punched her in the mouth.

Her mouth poured with blood and she lost three teeth.

Craig Lowe, mitigating, said the incident involving the ex-girlfriend lasted only 35 to 40 minutes and it was "nowhere near as long as it seemed to be".

Madsen admitted punching the woman in the face.

He lashed out and punched the second woman in the face, knocking out three teeth, after someone spat at him.

It happened after several people went back to his flat to carry on drinking and he was verbally abused.

Madsen had worked for Conoco power station but was laid off and found work at a soup factory. He had been in custody for about six months.

He was jailed for four-and-a-half years and was given a lifetime restraining order banning him from contacting his ex-girlfriend.
