Sarah Tetley told ITV’s This Morning about her shocking experience.
This is Sarah Tetley, 26.
Yesterday she told ITV's This Morning how she met her husband, Charlie Tetley, now 34, while working in a village pub when she was 18.
She told the programme:
He'd come in with his friends from time to time. He seemed like quite a charming person, had quite a lot of friends... He was just charming and decent. My boss never explained why she didn't like him – she said she didn't like him coming into the pub that much.
Sarah said that after a while of being with Charlie, she felt it was easier for her to give up her job: "He'd always say 'I can support you' ... and that it would be easier if I stayed home."
She moved in with his parents, whom she said were unfriendly: "After a few months we avoided each other as much as possible." Then she became pregnant, whereupon his behaviour became extremely odd, she said:
He was OK with me being pregnant but was adamant he didn't want a son, he thought boys were disgusting, he said if we were having a boy we were getting rid of it. ... I was quite scared really. ... A few weeks before she was born he was saying "You've got to lose weight or I'll leave you". ... I started to believe his threats more and more because it wasn't an offhand comment. He didn't hold our daughter till she was about 3 months old.
Charlie Tetley is currently serving 12 years in prison after pleading guilty to to five counts of rape and attempted rape, eight counts of assault by penetration, three counts of sexual assault, and 10 counts of making indecent images of children.
