Rose and Pablo have been married for a number of years and seem to be a fairly average thirty something couple with a nice house, a nice car, a cat and a dog; they made the decision to have a family about a year ago, although as yet, Rose has not become pregnant. They both achieved some success within their respective careers, although six weeks ago, Pablo was told that the company that he works for is having financial problems and that it is possible that he may be made redundant. Over the years, in order to keep their sex life interesting, they have partaken in some erotic role playing and some mild sadomasochism, however, on recent occasions Pablo had started to use rather more force on Rose than she was happy with and she had to ask him to stop hurting her several times. Rose thinks that the aggression in Pablo is due to the stress he is under at work; she makes the decision that until things settle down again, that she will re-start using contraception as she does not wish to get pregnant whilst their future is so uncertain. She does not tell Pablo however because she fears that he will become even more upset and angry!
Pablo notices that Rose appears to have lost interest in sex and has become distant and thinks that this is because she has fallen out of love with him; he thinks that she may be having an affair with another man. She works quite closely with a colleague called Quintin and Pablo has always suspected that Quintin may like Rose rather more than he should! Pablo becomes quite paranoid and jealous about his wife and starts to behave in a very erratic and volatile way, ringing her at odd times of day to check up on her and cross-examining her every move, especially when she has to work late. After a few weeks, this comes to a head when Pablo goes through Rose’s belongings and finds a half consumed packet of contraceptive pills; Pablo completely ‘loses the plot’ and, despite the fact that Rose tries to explain everything to him, the argument culminates with Pablo dragging Rose into the kitchen by her long blond hair and cutting it off with the kitchen scissors.
Advise Pablo as to his liability with regard to Rose,
I personally dont see how he is liable. I was simply going to argue that cutting someone's hair does not constitute criminal activity. Okay I just realised its domestic abuse
