A thug told his former girlfriend "I will find you" during a four month period of abuse when he also sent her death threats.
Marco Mendes posted the sickening messages online to threaten the woman in a series of expletive-laden Facebook comments which left her fearing for her safety.
The 43-year-old's campaign of abuse left the victim scared to leave her own home and followed on from convictions for similar posts and for violence which included him headbutting her in the face.
Mendes, of Aveling Drive, in Banks, near Southport, went before Preston Crown Court this week after earlier admitting harassment causing the woman to fear violence.
Tom Challinor, prosecuting, said: “The defendant posted a series of comments onto this Facebook page from July 2020 to mid-October.
“To summarise, in late September, the defendant posted a grossly offensive and explicit comment naming the victim.
This was followed on October 7 by a number of threats including “kill the b****’ and ‘30 years in prison and this b**** buried’.
Mendes, who was the subject of a restraining order banning him from contacting the victim, claimed “he had all his life to find the “b****” and posted a postcode while insinuating he knew where she lived.
Another comment stated, “I don’t need a GPS, when it’s time, I’ll find you”, while he also branded her a “f***ing w****” in a separate post.
Mr Challinor said the vile posts “left her very scared because she knows he is a violent man”.
He added: "She fears for her life because he knows the areas she lives."
Mendes has previous convictions for assaulting the same woman and was jailed for 12 months for making posts which included threatening to cut her throat.
The sickening messages in that case continued while he was released on bail.
He has also received a short jail sentence for an unrelated drink driving matter.
Huw Edwards, defending, asked that Mendes be given full credit for pleading guilty at the first opportunity.
He said: “For what it is worth, he expresses now in the cold light of day, facing sentence, his remorse. He apologises to his victim.”
“He explains to me that his behaviour was abhorrent,” Mr Edwards added.

But Judge Andrew Jeffries refused to consider that apology when sentencing, saying the only mitigation he would consider is the impact of Covid-19 on prison conditions.
He said: “Between June and October of last year, you sent revolting and threatening messages to your ex-partner.
“Messages about killing b****es, doing 30 years, making references to her address and finding it, calling her a f***ing whore and things like that.
“On the back of violence and two other similar convictions, she obviously would be in fear and distress as a result of that.”
Mendes was given a two-year jail sentence along with a four-year restraining order banning him from contacting his victim directly or indirectly.
