Rob and his now ex-wife, Victoria, met at university. Their relationship started off happily, they married & moved to Falmouth in Cornwall. However, it quickly descended into a nightmare marriage of psychological manipulation, coercive control & emotional abuse, all from the woman who was supposed to love him. Rob’s life was gradually destroyed as Victoria extended a web of lies around him, manipulating, suffocating & isolating him from the outside world. It was only through his baby daughter, Grace, that he found the courage to leave Victoria. But even then, Rob could never really escape, and Victoria continued to haunt and torment his life. In fact, her actions became more and more extreme, culminating in approaches to at least six different men with requests to help her murder Rob. As featured in Channel 4’s 24 Hours in Police Custody, Married to the Black Widow is both a bone-chilling, real-life, psychological thriller and a powerful and honest true story of a father’s unrelenting battle for freedom and justice.
