Man beats wife for sending nude photo to another man

Julian Antoine, 48, has been charged for allegedly causing actual bodily harm, criminal damage and attempting to choke, suffocate or strangle. Photo: Facebook
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI - Julian Antoine, 48, was brought before the Magistrate’s Court on October 4, 2016 for allegedly beating his ‎wife and destroying her cellular phone in the process. The beating was allegedly because she took a nude photograph of herself and shared it with another man.

The couple has been married for some 23 years.

Yesterday in the Magistrate's Court, the charges read against Antoine were causing actual bodily harm, criminal damage and attempting to choke, suffocate or strangle.

The court heard that the problem started after the man confronted his wife inquiring of her if she had taken a naked photograph of herself and sending it to another man. She was reportedly not without her undies.

Initially, the wife reportedly denied but subsequently admitted to having taken the photo using the phone of a friend. ‎She, however, denied ever sending the photo to any man. This was allegedly not accepted by her husband who on September 30, 2016 insisted that she did take the photos and did send it to a man who was not him.

This confrontation allegedly took place at the couple's Diamond Estate home on the day in question.

Fight allegedly ensued in presence of children

Reading the facts in the case, the prosecution told the court that when the accused had asked his wife if she had sent the photo to a man she blurted out expletives at him using the 'F' word and with that he became enraged and attacked her.

As the drama prolonged between the two he allegedly beat her about the body using his hands, ‎pelted her in the face with a half bottle of water which hit her in an eye, barred her from leaving the home as she attempted to do so, and crushed her phone with his hands before ‎throwing it into a wall.

The two allegedly fought intensely in the presence of a friend of the victim and the couple’s children who all intervened at some point. Their 8 year old son had reportedly appealed to his dad to stop beating his mother.

Antoine allegedly confessed to police that he had indeed hit his wife as he flipped when she used the 'f' word at him. He said he did hit her with his hand and a slippers‎.

The defendant was placed on $60,000 bail, ordered to attend the Partnership for Peace Programme and instructed not to harass or be in contact with his wife. He is expected back in court on December 9, 2016.

        It is so sad that many men find that this behavior is acceptable. Men think once they get a little kitty's meow, they own the woman. If your house made of straw then expect the big bad wolf to come and blow your house down.

            I agree with you. And to be honest I can understand that he's human and of course will be hurt but he's not right for hitting her and she's dead ass wrong for sending nudes of herself specially because she is a married woman with a child and the way things are going dudes just wait for the chance to leaks nudes even females leak each other nudes but I ask how would you feel if your child got that pic? Food for thought I'm not judging.

    The wife is more wrong for doing what she did especially since she is married and have a child or children.
    The man is wrong for not keeping his calm but is not everyone could control their emotions after being married for 23 years. Its not an easy road. I hope the judge will go easy on him.
    She is a disgrace to her family.

    For all the ladies who think they can tame their man...keep trying. I have a man for years. I do all the freaky stuff. Got hold of his phone a few days ago and I have never seen so many prone in my 50 yrs on earth. Guess what he was sending them to a woman who lives in st Vincent. The woman doesn't reply but can see she opened them. How disrespectful can this man be. He lied saying he didn't send them. His phone n he didn't send them? How dumb! Well he's history for me. The greedy dog.
