EVERY time Alisha left the house to meet her ex-boyfriend, she'd hug her family that bit tighter. She had no idea what would be waiting for her when she arrived.
When Kabenge through a mutual friend in 2020, they were both just 17-years-old. They started chatting on Snapchat, then began dating a months few later.
In the first few weeks of their relationship, Kabenge told her he loved her, wanted to marry her and have children. Alisha now realises he was love-bombing her but she was blinded at the time.
Three years later, she stood in court watching as he was jailed for 32 months after admitting coercive and controlling behaviour, assault and intimidation towards her.
During a sentencing hearing at Manchester Crown Square, Crown Court this week, Kabenge, 20, from Newton Heath, was also made subject of an indefinite restraining order, meaning he'll never be able to contact her again.
Now, she wants other women to be aware of how he treated her, in the hope that no-one else has to experience same the trauma and fear.
