A TEENAGER awoke to her boyfriend dragging her out of bed, hitting her, forcing her to eat a cigarette butt and demanding she undress before chasing her outside.
Her boyfriend, Jordan Binder, eventually ended the assault, ordering her to remain in the corner of the bathroom, before turning off the light and leaving the flat – locking the door behind him.
The girl, who suffered a black eye, tenderness to her face and a cut lip, called the police and Binder, 19, was arrested.
It was the second time he had attacked her in two days.
At Derby Crown Court Binder, of Binder Street, Long Eaton, admitted two offences of assault causing actual bodily harm, although he did not accept he attacked his girlfriend to the extent she said or that she was naked when she went outside. He said she was wearing a dressing gown. Binder also admitted an offence of criminal damage.
Sarah Slater, prosecuting, said: "It was a sustained assault on both occasions."
"On the first occasion, she said she was woken by him at 9am and he appeared to be in a bad mood with her and slapped her (repeatedly)."
The girl told police Binder had then grabbed her by the jaw and hit her head against a door and pulled at her eyelids.
"She said it went on all day until his cousin came round in the evening," said Miss Slater.
The court heard that two days later she had been asleep when Binder arrived home drunk with a friend and she was woken by her boyfriend dragging her out of bed.
Miss Slater said: "He dragged her around the bedroom, smashed her head against the door, forced her to eat the remnants of a cigarette and slapped her across the face causing bleeding in her mouth."
Binder's friend tried to stop him from assaulting her but he continued and when she tried to get up, knocked her to the floor again.
Handing Binder a nine-month custodial sentence suspended for 18 months, Judge Ebrahim Mooncey said: "I would not have passed this sentence had you not spent time in custody already."
Binder will be supervised by the probation service.
