'I am not a victim'
Antonia Gilliespie (21) has bravely waived her anonymity in a case which saw Uddingston man Euan Walker sent to prison for four years after graphic details of his conduct towards her and his ex-girlfriend were spelled out at Hamilton Sheriff Court
Whilst too upset to speak at court, she later stated on Facebook: “ He did not win - I'm a survivor, not a victim, and hopefully no woman will go through what I went through with him.

"Report it, as it gets better. I'm here and living to tell the story that it does."
Walker had bitten Antonia, ripped out her nose ring, slashed her with a piece of glass and ripped out her stitches with his teeth,
He held her at knifepoint and subjected her to other humiliating acts of violence.
He had also distributed intimate video footage of her.
Walker also failed to heed a stay-away warning when they split and spray- painted derogatory comments about her at Strathclyde Park and at other locations.
