ABERDEEN COUNCIL WORKER GETS COMMUNITY SERVICE DESPITE DOMESTIC ABUSE CAMPAIGN
A man named Nicholas Asante-Ampaduh, a council education worker, was involved in a disturbing pattern of abusive behavior against multiple partners over a period spanning from 1994 to 2017.
The abuse included physical violence such as punching a partner while she was breastfeeding, lifting a woman by her throat, and choking her for about 30 seconds.
His most recent partner, Natasja Cuypers from Belgium, recounted how he approached her with a knife and threatened to kill her while she breastfed their newborn last year.
The abuse was exposed after her concerned father contacted Grampian Women’s Aid from her homeland.
The court heard that prior victims also endured violent attacks: one was struck on the head while breastfeeding, another was subjected to regular beatings, and one was controlled emotionally and intimidated for years.
Asante-Ampaduh, who was a soldier in the army and later worked with Aberdeen City Council, was sentenced to avoid jail after social work reports influenced the sheriff’s decision.
He was placed on supervision for two years, ordered to complete 270 hours of community service, and attend a domestic abuse offenders course.
His employment status with Aberdeen City Council remains unrevealed.
