A Victory Height’s man’s abusive behaviour towards his partner has been labelled “cowardly” by a judge, who then jailed him for several months.
Cameron Laurie Brown, 26, faced court after he threatened, kicked and choked his partner of four years in the garage of their Gympie home on Wednesday, January 17, 2024.
Gympie District Court heard the fight was over claims of infidelity.
Brown initially threatened to slap his victim across the face, then kicked her in the leg, and followed through with his initial threat.
The Gympie court heard he then grabbed the woman by the throat and choked her for five seconds, moving her around the garage as he did.
She started crying and vomiting when he left, it heard.

All were domestic violence offences.
He was sentenced to two years’ jail and, with 93 days already served in pre-sentence custody, will be released on parole on July 17, 2024.
