A thug violently attacked a woman before having a bonfire with her belongings and sharing private sexual pictures of her on social media.
James Hutcheson brutally beat his victim in an attack where he also grabbed her around the throat and dragged her up and down a set of stairs, Teeside Crown Court heard.
On another occasion, he punched her in the face after she accidentally picked up his phone instead of her own.
According to Teeside Live, he also uploaded sexually intimate pictures of her to Facebook without her consent in an attempt to shame her.
In a statement, the woman said her abuser left her feeling "utterly degraded, humiliated and dirty, even though I have done nothing wrong".
She still feels "constantly on edge and does not sleep well at all", the court heard.
In the first attack in August last year, the victim found Hutcheson had entered her home and started a fire in the back garden, burning her clothes and possessions.
He then turned violent, the court heard, "punching her and dragging her about".
During her ordeal she was headbutted, dragged up and down the stairs and there was "some strangulation" when he grabbed her around the neck.
She managed to call police briefly and they traced the call to the address.
On the second day of his trial, Hutcheson pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm, assault, intimidation and disclosing private photos.
The court heard the 32-year-old had already spent time on remand and conditions for prisoners were "particularly harsh" due to covid restrictions, spending "a large part of the day cooped up in cells."
Judge Howard Crowson commended the woman's bravery in coming to court.
He said it was "really hard to quantify the emotional damage" caused to victims by their attackers.
And he added that he hoped the case shows that the court "will always protect" women who are the victims of violence.
He jailed Hutcheson, of Upper Napier Street in South Bank, for two years and eight months and ordered him to pay a victim surcharge of £190.
He said men convicted of such crimes sometimes claim to have been the victim of a miscarriage of justice.
In Hutcheson's case, he told him, "You will only ever be able to say you did these things because you have admitted it in court."
