Television presenter Justin Lee Collins has been found guilty of harassing his former partner.

The 38-year-old subjected Anna Larke to sustained emotional and domestic abuse during their seven-month relationship, a jury at St Albans Crown Court heard.

He made the video games public relations worker write down in a notepad all her previous sexual encounters regardless of how graphic, the hearing was told.

The court heard that Collins made her sleep facing him, throw away DVDs because they featured actors she found attractive and made death threats against her.

Bearded, long-haired Collins, who appeared in court wearing a shirt, black blazer and jeans, did not show any emotion as the verdict was announced.

Judge John Plumstead sentenced him to carry out 140 hours unpaid work within the next 18 months and he was also ordered to pay £3,500 in prosecution costs.

The judge told him: 'This is humbling work for somebody who lives a prominent public life but the very humility that the manual work should induce will make you pause and think about what you have done.

You've had a successful career and led up to this time a decent life.

'It would have been very much to your credit if you had had the courage to admit your violence against Ms Larke and for that you will pay the price.'

The judge described Ms Larke as a 'vulnerable woman' and said Collins' crime was a 'very serious matter'.

He added: 'It's serious because any violence in any relationship when people should be able to rely on each other is a serious breach of trust.'

Collins walked out of the court and got into a waiting car but did not say anything to reporters as he left.

I would have preferred him to be banged up with some sex-starved knuckle-draggers but public humiliation will have to do .....

No excuses for what he has done, horrid and he will suffer the consequences of it, although there is always two sides to every story as we will never know the full story.

When it comes to domestic violence I always hope that there is more support for men who are abused by women, yes the number in figures is small compared to women, who are more likely to be victims of domestic abuse at the hands of a man though.

Hope he goes to jail!

Sadly Not just
Community Service.

I think no TV company wants him now
so he will have loads of time.

The guilty verdict could have resulted in a five-year jail sentence for the disgraced star.

But Collins walked free from court thanks to his previous good record and a character reference from ex-wife Karen.

The 38-year-old was instead sentenced to community work.

Last night, domestic abuse charities slammed the punishment handed to Collins as too lenient.

I agree .....

[Marc]

Seriously?

[Kizzy]

I'm surprised tbh, from what i read i would say it was 6 of one and half a dozen of the other.
A toxic relationship that got out of hand.

[Me. I Am Salman]

He's been let off so lightly.

[arista]

The beetle-browed knuckle-draggers were looking forward to the long-haired lovely's induction process .....

[King Gizzard]

Watching this ''Oops TV'' thing, a bit like You've been framed, and the information bit on sky says ''Narrated by the suitably irreverent Justin Lee Collins.''


lol

[King Gizzard]

and why is it when someone is found guilty they don't question it, yet when that person doesn't get such punishment it's ''he's been let off!!''

If you're gonna trust the law trust them with all cases and not decide your own verdict

[Me. I Am Salman]

Oops TV is awful
So was that C5 chat show he hosted
He's just dreadful in general.
