    She told police that Smith had been physically and sexually abusive towards her and on one occasion he put his hands around her throat and assaulted her while she was unconscious.

    Quote Message

    The abuse these women suffered at the hands of Smith is absolutely despicable, absolutely no-one should have to go through this level of abuse."
