'I didn't realise it was going to be part of my entrapment'

Many victims of domestic violence report

being either being harassed via online messages or having their activity monitored via their phones.
However, many do not report it to the police, the charity said.
Euleen Hope was a technophobe who escaped the control of her tech-savvy abusive ex-partner after 10 years.
He set up her email and social media accounts for her, which meant he had full access to them.
He also replaced her flip-phone with an iPhone which he then set up to be mirrored on to the pair's iPad so he could monitor her calls and messages, and activated the phone's location-tracker saying it would help her to get the bus.
"You wouldn't think he was doing anything bad, he showed you what he was doing," she said.
"I didn't realise it was going to be part of my entrapment."
When she noticed things such as the iPad ringing when her phone rang, her ex told her he was just testing a new app.
