Glen Hutchinson, 29, of Yarm Road, Eaglescliffe, who previously lived in York, was sent to prison for four years and nine months after pleading guilty last year to intentional strangulation, four counts of assault causing actual bodily harm, and perverting the course of justice.
Hutchinson subjected the woman to violent attacks over a two-year period including while she was pregnant.
He also attacked her, punching her numerous times in the head, while he was holding onto a baby, resulting in the baby’s head hitting a doorframe and the child needing hospital scans to ensure no lasting injury had been caused.
Hutchinson was convicted of perverting the course of justice after trying to persuade the victim not to cooperate with the investigation.
He was sentenced at York Crown Court on Monday, February 10.
Investigating officer, Detective Constable Gemma Illidge, said: “The defendant showed no remorse for his behaviour against the victim throughout the entire police process. He breached his bail continuously which left the courts no option but to remand him.
“The victim was heavily pregnant during some of these horrific assaults that left her with extensive bruising. She was exceptionally brave to come forward to speak to police and support a prosecution. I know how hard it has been and I thank her for her courage and resilience during all of this.
