Jealous man beats up girlfriend for he feared his penis was smaller than her ex's

In what can only be termed a serious case of insecurity, a man has been jailed after beating up his girlfriend after fearing the size of his manhood could not match her well-endowed former lover.

29-year-old Nathan Galvin, from Ramsgate, Kent, who has a history of attacking women, became obsessed with his size of penis after spotting one of her former partner's at a school reunion.

According to a Canterbury Crown Courth hearing, an upset and distraught Galvin pulled his lover’s hair while asking whether her ex had a bigger penis than him, Canterbury Crown Court heard.

Eight days later he again demanded to know the size of the other man’s penis and if his member gave the terrified mum-of-two more pleasure in bed.

The argument led to a brutal 20-minute attack at her home in Thanet, Kent, in which he throttled her 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 and was 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 sentencing Galvin smirked as he looked across to the public gallery at court and made a gun gesture with his fingers to his crying victim.

Just 15 minutes later, he was hauled back before the judge and given an extra four months for contempt of court.
