“I had been really sick during pregnancy. He was in a bad mood. We argued about something. '
She said she threw the empty box on the floor that landed in front of Mr. Hanson.
“He just went for me,” she said. She said he ran to where she was and she turned to “protect her baby” and he put his arm around her neck.
“It felt like a very long time, but in reality it was probably about four seconds … I was frozen, I was petrified and in shock,” she said, adding, “He didn't tried to choke. He tried to control me. '
She said afterwards that they both 'just stood there' and said, 'I think he was shocked about what he had done.
“I froze completely, I was paralyzed with fear. I didn't scream. I think he was shocked about what he had done, especially because I was pregnant. ”

'I can't remember what the argument was about, but in the end he grabbed my arm. He held me. I remember thinking what the hell you were doing – he just held me and grabbed me very hard. '

'Really painful, it really hurts. Charles left the room and I just called my father in floods of tears. '
Asked by Officer of Justice Stephen Kemp why she didn't call the police, she replied: “I always say I'm going to call the police and he knows I will never do that.
'If it starts, you just hope it will end, he apologizes – his mother says she will talk to him. You think it will get better. '
Reminding another incident in March 2020 during Covid Lockdown, she told how he threw a wireless solid phone at her.
Mrs. Hanson said: 'Lockdown was a bit of a nightmare for us when we were in the house together. He was angry, he gets angry a lot. I was sitting on the couch – he was angry again.
“It was like a joke for him when he threw it at me. It hit my leg. It was not difficult enough to make a bruise. '
On another occasion she said she was crying and he started filming her on his phone.
She said: 'I think he's ridiculous, he tells me a lot about my behavior. I became more upset, I tried to get the phone from him – I said, “Stop filming”. I got the phone and he grabbed the phone and grabbed my wrist and groove his nails in it. '
Jury members were told that Mrs. Hanson had sent photos of bruises and red spots she had suffered to her mother.
Asked why, she replied: 'I was so afraid that it was getting more and more regular, I was afraid he would find out [about the photographs] – I had to keep a kind of record with someone I trusted. '
Hanson was arrested in June 2023 in their house in Quarndon, near Derby.
During a police interview he accepted that he sometimes increased his voice, but denied that he once brought his wife to a headlock.
He said he had never caused her any injury and he denied that he had grabbed her, punctured or pressed her.
Jury members were told that the 'compulsory control' crime only came into force in December 2015.
Hanson met his wife through friends in 2008 and two years later in a traditional service in All Saints' Church in Mackworth, Derby, for 150 guests.
The process continues.
