A READING man has been sentenced after being found guilty of coercive control, following a nine-day hearing at Oxford Crown Court.

Imran Beg, 35 and of Brighton Road, has been found guilty by a majority jury verdict of one count of coercive control, three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and one count each of malicious communications and intimidation of a witness.

He was also acquitted of one count of assault.

Beg had also pleaded guilty to a count of possession of a Class B drug, namely cannabis, at a previous hearing.

He was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment and given an additional year after he was classified as dangerous on Wednesday, March 1.

Between November 2021 and June 2022, Beg assaulted the victim on multiple occasions, with the victim sustaining black eyes, a sore throat, and bruising to their body and feet.

He also controlled the victim’s choice of clothing, who they spoke with, and stopped them from seeing friends and family.

He was arrested on Tuesday, June 28, last year and charged the following day.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Sian Lewis, of the Domestic Abuse Investigations Unit, said: “No person should have to endure what the victim was subjected to by Imran Beg.

“Beg has rightly been given a custodial sentence and I hope this allows the victim to move on from the terrible ordeal she underwent and the sentence can bring some form of closure as she rebuilds her life.

“It is never acceptable for someone to act in this manner, making others’ lives a misery and we would encourage anyone experiencing coercive behaviour to come forward and report it to us either online or by calling 101.

“We will listen and support you.”


Imran Beg
