West Denton Man Jailed After Strangling Partner, Claiming “Nice Tom” Return
Thomas Huntington would change personalities. Court documents say he strangled her twice. He said “nice Tom” was back and “Nasty Tom” had vanished, he claimed.
Huntington, 37, is now jailed for his abuse. He met his partner at a bar. They were together for seven years. The couple seemed happy at first.
They quickly lived together and had kids. As the relationship ended, abuse began. She faced cycles of affection mixed with cruelty. He would insult and physically attack her.
On June 13, 2024, things escalated. He found her watching pornography on his phone and strangled her because she confronted him. He left, saying he would kill himself.
When Huntington came back, the couple argued. He called her names and said no one loved her. She ended the relationship. He twisted her wrist hard.
The pain made her think her wrist broke. She punched his face, causing a nosebleed. She immediately regretted it. Later, their kids were asleep upstairs. Huntington grabbed her neck in the hallway.
He pinned her to the door, lifting her up. Her airways closed, and she struggled to breathe. She thought of her kids and believed she would die. He let go and she fell. Huntington then cried.
An ambulance took her to the hospital. She had neck pain and vision loss. Her right arm felt numb. Doctors later released her. On June 15, they argued again violently.
Huntington threatened to kill her, then bit her nose. He strangled her once more. She lost control of her bladder. Huntington called her disgusting, then ran her a bath.
He said that “nice Tom” returned again. She reported the assaults, and police arrested him. They found his searches about strangulation effects. He also researched related prison sentences.
Huntington initially denied his actions in court. He later pleaded guilty on December 10. On February 24, the court sentenced him. He was found guilty of harm and strangulation.
Judge Earl gave Huntington two and a half years. He must serve half that time. He also got a restraining order and a fine. His lawyer said Huntington had anxiety. He also stated he worried about his partner. He has a past driving offense conviction.
