Footballer made woman lick paint, rubbed glass into skin and beat her with iron

A footballer made a woman lick paint, rubbed broken glass into her skin and battered her with an iron bar during a nightmare three-day ordeal.

Reece Thompson, 25, inflicted horrific suffering on his victim, leaving her with huge bruises across her body and cuts to her back.

The woman described how she was abused and humiliated in the series of attacks - which even saw Thomson force her to lick paint from the floor.

He also smashed mirrors over her head and threatened to make her run down the street naked, reports Lincolnshire Live .
