A 33-year-old man residing in Crewe has been jailed for assaulting his ex-partner and attempting to control all aspects of her life.

Sebastian Mroz appeared at Chester Crown Court on Friday 21 February, where he was sentenced to 13 months in prison for assaulting his partner and controlling where she went and who she spoke to.

He was also issued with a Restraining Order preventing him from contacting his victim.

The sentencing comes after, on 6 September 2024, officers from Crewe Local Policing Unit (LPU) responded to a call from a 39-year-old woman reporting she had been assaulted by her partner at their home near Crewe town centre.

Upon arrival, officers were met outside of the address by Mroz who informed them his television had fallen onto his partner and smashed, causing her injury.

Entering the property, the woman who made the 999 call also was located, with officers speaking to the pair separately.

The woman disclosed that she had been staying with a friend and had come to the address to collect a number of her possessions as she wanted to end her relationship with Mroz.

Mroz, who was under the influence of drugs and alcohol at the time, responded by pushing her into the television and causing a serious laceration to her leg.

She went on to say that Mroz had also taken her phone away from her after she called the police, but she was able to retrieve it before the officer's arrival.

During the conversation with the officer, the victim explained that she had also been assaulted a few days earlier when she had initially attempted to end the relationship.

In this instance, Mroz pulled her to the floor, dragging her across the downstairs of the property. Despite disclosing these incidents, she was hesitant to provide officers with a statement.

Sebestian Mroz's sentencing comes after, on 6 September 2024, Cheshire Police responded to a call from a 39-year-old woman reporting she had been assaulted by her partner at their home near Crewe town centre (Cheshire Police).

Regardless, Mroz was arrested on suspicion of section 18 assault and taken into custody. He would later be released on bail with conditions of not contacting the victim or returning to their address.

However, despite being on conditional bail, Mroz continued engaging with the victim and her family members, on one occasion messaging her son and telling him he was going to burn her house down and smash her windows.

The victim eventually came around to providing officers with a statement, claiming she was in a "living nightmare" as he was constantly accusing her of cheating and attempting to prevent her from leaving the house.

In her statement, the victim told officers since ending her relationship with Mroz he had been continuously calling her, on one instance receiving 32 calls from him that were all unwanted.

He also appeared outside of her address at 12.30am on 4 November and demanded he talk to her, a breach of his bail conditions. 

On November 8, Mroz was arrested again after officers received another 999 call from the victim saying she had been again contacted by him on a different number.

To the victims' distress, Mroz had begun asking where she was and who she was with and demanding that he come and see her. He also told her not to tell police about any of his efforts to contact her.

Sebastian Mroz was also issued with a Restraining Order preventing him from contacting his victim (Nub News).

Upon being interviewed by officers in relation to harassing his ex-partner, Mroz admitted he had repeatedly contacted her and sent her unwanted messages, claiming that he only wanted to sort things out between them. He denied stalking her.

Despite this, Sebastian Mroz was subsequently charged and summonsed to court on Friday 31 January 2025 where he pleaded guilty to engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour and section 47 assault.

He was jailed for 13 months on Friday 21 February and handed an indefinite Restraining Order, preventing him from contacting the victim upon his release.

Police constable Chloe Beckett, of Crewe's Area Investigation Team, said: "It was Sebastian Mroz's insecurity and refusal to accept the wishes of the victim that was his ultimate undoing.

"Our officers viewed countless text messages and phone calls he had directed at her, begging her to talk to him and attempting to tell her what she could and could not do.

Sebastian Mroz had begun asking where his ex-partner was, who she was with and demanding that he come and see her. He also told her not to tell police about any of his efforts to contact her (Cheshire Police).

"No one should be hurt by the person who is meant to care for them, so I hope that now Mroz will be spending the foreseeable future behind bars, the victim can begin to move on with her life without fearing for her safety.

"We take all reports of abuse and controlling and coercive behaviour very seriously and we always put the needs of the victim at the centre of all we do, getting them the justice and closure they need is our top priority."
