Hide AdDetective Constable Oliver Pemberton, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Evans carried out and appalling and inexcusable act of violence and I am pleased he has now been bought to justice.
“This kind of aggression is utterly unacceptable and will always attract a very strong police response.
“I would like to thank the victim in this case who showed enormous patience during a very challenging legal process.
“I am aware that no amount of jail time can undo the physical and emotional harm experienced by her, but I hope this sentencing offers at least some degree of closure.
