A woman has claimed her husband would track her, control her money and read emails and texts during a controlling marriage lasting years.
Richard Anthony Gardiner, of Heywood Road in Diss, denies one charge of coercive and controlling behaviour over his wife between January 1, 2016 and October 4, 2019 in Wymondham.
A trial, which began at Great Yarmouth Magistrates Court on Tuesday, February 16, heard evidence from his wife, who accused Gardiner of making her send him £50,000 to pay his ex-wife, as well as tracking her whereabouts with the Find My Friends app.
She said: I would take the path of least resistance where I could because the consequences were quite debilitating and I was never anywhere I shouldn t be and had nothing to hide it.
