Abusive boyfriend jailed for nine years after fleeing to Thailand
Nicholas Cash has been jailed for nine years and four months after a ten-month campaign of abuse against his former girlfriend, Olivia Croft. The case included controlling behaviour and assaults, and Croft went to police after he killed one of her rabbits by flushing it down a toilet.
Cash, 26, was convicted in his absence after fleeing to Thailand in October 2022 to avoid trial. He was extradited after being tracked down last December and spent nine months in a Thai prison; the judge said that time could not be counted towards his sentence. The court heard the abuse included slashing Croft with glass, shooting her with a BB gun, forcing pills down her throat and restricting her contact and appearance.
