Judge orders woman to send letters to ex who brutalized her in prison?

Is this true or something being distorted by a tabloid?



Mum who had throat cut by brutal ex faces JAIL if she refuses to write to him in prison

Quote:

A mum battered and slashed to within an inch of her life by her jealous ex-fiance has been threatened with jail if she refuses to write to him in prison. Horrified Natalie Allman, 29, has been ordered by a judge to send letters three times a year to brutal Jason Hughes who tortured her for seven hours in front of their twin sons. Under parental rights laws, Natalie is being forced to send updates on the five-year-olds along with photos. The boys were just two when they saw their father batter their mum with his weight-lifting dumbbells, slash her throat with an Army knife and try to *suffocate her with a pillow. If Natalie refuses to write, she will be held in contempt of court and risks being locked up herself. The devastated mum told the Sunday People: “I feel betrayed that after everything he did his rights mean more than mine – more than my children’s. “We are the victims, not him. I thought he was going to kill me that night for no reason and my boys saw that. They were terrified. “I’m so angry that the law still defends his parental rights and that he is still being allowed to control us from behind bars.

Needless to say, this seems absolutely ludicrous to me. How can this be?



Or have I fallen for some sort of tabloid lie here?
