In the three separate beatings, Woodman, 33, punched Crystal in the face breaking her jaw, pulled a clump of her hair out and also threatened to burn her with a pair of hair straighteners.
Heavily-tattooed Jack Woodman, who featured on Channel 4’s Bodyshockers, was found guilty of grievous bodily harm and two counts of actual bodily harm at Bristol Crown Court.
Giving evidence, Crystal, now 29, told how their relationship began after she walked out of her job as a hairdresser to start work at Woodman’s pawnshop, Jack’s Cash in Bedminster, Bristol.
And the family of his former girlfriend, Crystal Taffs, said: “Woodman has now got what he always craved – to be famous.”.
The five-day trial at Bristol Crown Court heard how the former pawnshop owner had been with Crystal for five years and the pair had two children together.
