A judge has condemned a weightlifting champion nicknamed The Strength Predator as a 'very weak man' after he forced his girlfriend into a controlling and abusive relationship whilst training her to be a powerlifter.
Alireza Herefedoust was labelled a 'bully' and 'not a decent man' by Judge Suzanne Goddard QC. The 34-year-old was told he should never form romances with women he coaches after he bullied, belittled and terrorised his victim.
The court heard how Herefedoust controlled his 21-year-old girlfriend throughout their 13-month relationship, in which he threw terrifying temper tantrums and told her: "I haven’t killed my ex but I’ll finish my job with you".
