A domestic abuser who attacked his former partner and then repeatedly asked her to retract her statement has been sentenced. The victim, who lives in Hucknall, suffered bruising to her neck and arms after she was assaulted while in a relationship with 45-year-old Jamie Viner. Viner, of Berwick Avenue, Derby, pleaded guilty to a charge of committing an act/series of acts, on 23 October 2025, with intent to pervert the course of justice. Further charges of intentional strangulation and assault by beating against the same woman were left to remain on file. As this case hopefully shows people – we take reports seriously, we will listen, you will be supported, and we will take action.”
