Domestic violence survivor 'living in terror' as attacker released without tag

A domestic violence survivor is living in fear after her attacker was released from prison without being fitted with a tracking tag. Michelle, 38, has been forced to move into a caravan with her four children due to the lack of protection.

  • Michelle's former partner was convicted of two counts of assault by beating and one count of affray
  • He breached his probation conditions multiple times before being released from prison without a tracking tag
  • Nearly half of offenders are not tagged 'promptly' on release, according to a report

A domestic violence survivor who was punched, threatened with a knife and had her front door kicked in by her former partner has been 'living in terror' because he had still not been fitted with a tracking tag, weeks after his release from prison.

Michele, 38, said relatives were sleeping on her floor in case the man tried to attack again. He had been recalled to prison on several occasions before for breaching his probation conditions.

Why this matters: The lack of protection for domestic violence survivors and their families is a significant concern.

What this means for you: If you are a domestic violence survivor or know someone who is, it is essential to report any breaches of probation conditions and demand protection from authorities.
