Atlanta Hammond, from Braintree, Essex, says she was subjected to daily physical abuse, banned from socialising with friends and forced to quit her job by her ex-boyfriend. And when the mother-of-one (pictured left) plucked up the courage to leave him, he threatened to publish a video of himself raping her while she slept and post it online. The 21-year-old, who has a two-year-old son, says her former partner exerted control over her from the time they met in 2013, when she was just 18.
