Full Description

Craig Lindon Spruce, described as a dangerous and violent individual, has begun an eight-year prison sentence after being convicted of sexually and physically attacking a woman. The sentencing occurred at Bradford Crown Court during the week of March 3 to 7, 2024. In addition to the custodial term, Spruce is required to sign the sex offender register for life, reflecting the sexual nature of his offences.

The attack involved an incident of strangulation during which Spruce threatened to kill his victim, leaving her struggling to swallow for several days and with visible nail marks on her neck. He further intimidated her by stating, 'I will gouge your eyes out.' These actions demonstrate the extreme violence and control exerted by Spruce, causing significant physical and likely psychological harm to the victim.

The case was investigated by West Yorkshire Police, with the court emphasising the severity of the offences. This conviction serves as a stark reminder of the consequences for those who perpetrate sexual and violent crimes against women.
