Yahoo News Jealous thug attacked girlfriend because he thought her ex might have a bigger penis
An insecure thug has been jailed for beating up his girlfriend because he was worried that her ex was better endowed.
Nathan Galvin’s penis paranoia got out of hand after he came face-to-face with his partner’s former lover at a school reunion.
Concerned that her ex had a bigger penis, Galvin pulled his girlfriend’s hair, tearing some of it out.
Eight days later he again demanded to know whether the other man was well-endowed and if he gave the terrified mum-of-two more pleasure in bed.
A 20-minute attack followed, in which he throttled his girlfriend of 10 months and left her body covered “from head to toe” in bruises.
Galvin, 29, was jailed for three years after admitting two assaults on the day of his trial.
He was also branded a danger to women after the court heard four previous lovers and even his sister had been on the receiving end of his violence.
But even after being sentenced Galvin smirked as he looked across to the public gallery at Canterbury Crown Court and made a gun gesture with his fingers to his crying victim.
15 minutes later, he was hauled back before the judge and given an extra four months for contempt of court.
Sentencing Judge Rupert Lowe told him: “You are a man who has significant problems with women, and a danger to society.
He added Galvin’s “insane jealousy” meant he posed a threat to any woman he was in a relationship with.
He continued: “The risk of you causing serious harm to the next woman you start a relationship with is, on any view, very high.”

Earlier, prosecutor James Cartwright told the court how Galvin had set about his girlfriend eight days after the school reunion last October, accusing her of “perving over” her ex, and demanding to know whether he performed “better in bed”.
Mr Cartwright said Galvin then punched his victim in the left ear before putting his hands around her throat and squeezing.
As the victim pleaded with him: “I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe”, he told her that if she passed out he would “kick her across the kitchen”.
The prosecutor said the attack – which took place while her children were in the house – only ended when she managed to call a friend who came to her home and helped her escape.
Galvin of Ramsgate, Kent, has eight previous assault convictions including four against previous partners and two on his sister.
Judge Rupert Lowe banned him for life from going anywhere near the home of his ex-partner, adding: “You represent the highest risk to any woman with whom you begin a relationship.
“On these occasions you lost control on reality and the assaults on this woman were prolonged and disgraceful.”
