Callum Gray had been due to be sentenced after he previously admitted controlling and coercive behaviour against a woman between December 2021 and January 2023.

He had also admitted sending electronic communications with intent to cause distress or anxiety in September 2022.

The 20-year-old appeared at Norwich Crown Court on Thursday (March 12) to be sentenced for those offences, as well as affray and having a bladed article in December 2024 and possession of cannabis in September 2022.

But Danielle O'Donovan, prosecuting, said the case would have to be adjourned so other potential offences could be investigated.

The prosecutor said it came following a statement provided by the victim in this case on Wednesday (March 12).

She said it "refers to a number of new offences, some are extremely serious and will take time to come through the system".

Recorder Simon Taylor adjourned the case following "allegations of further, more serious offending" allowing the necessary investigations to take place.

The case was put off initially until Tuesday, March 17.

Gray, formerly of Marlborough Road, Norwich, but currently of HMP Norwich, was remanded in custody until the next hearing.
