The circumstances of this case meant that he was given a longer jail sentence. It's usually around a year, give or take a few months.

That's not accurate tbh, more serious cases that involve threats and or violence can be sentences of up to 20 years.

Time for false imprisonment is close to a year. The addition of acts such as GBH, threats and whatever else is what contributes to such long sentences.

Which is what I just posted?

And in this case there was both violence and threats involved which is why I found the sentence to be very lenient however after reading the entire article some things don't add up...

It's interesting. I can imagine that if she wasn't allowed to leave and pay regular visits, he'd have got a longer sentence. You're completely right, she had the chance to leave whenever she wanted, so was the imprisonment that strong? She must've chosen to return to him so you could argue that the imprisonment wasn't really that strong at all. Especially since that there's no evidence of him forcing her to return to him or threatening her with violence.

Still giving us the benefit of your "legal expertise" I see. Is that your opinion as a "defence attorney"?
