Hampshire woman says husband didn’t stand up for her at the pub. So she allegedly makes him swallow something vile: ‘I’m going to make you eat it’
She took her threat literally.
Disagreements between couples are a normal part of any relationship. But for one woman in Hampshire, England, a dispute with her husband took an unexpected turn when she allegedly shoved her own poop into his mouth instead. 63-year-old Alison Moore pleaded guilty to three counts of assault against her husband, Rob Moore.
The incident reportedly occurred at the Moores’ £1 million (around $1.3 million) farmhouse in rural Damerham on Aug. 20. According to the Southampton Crown Court, Moore allegedly pushed her husband onto their bed after accusing him of being “boring” and “not standing up for her” when they visited pubs earlier in the day, per the Daily Mail.
During the argument, Moore reportedly told her husband that he “talks so much s***,” and then threatened, “I’m going to make you eat it.” She allegedly carried out her threat by smearing feces all over her husband’s mouth, an act that the presiding judge, Gary Lucie, described as a “gratuitous degradation of the victim.”
Hampshire woman allegedly hit husband before
Moore’s husband immediately escaped from her hold and took photos of his poop-covered face as evidence before washing his mouth and changing his clothes, the prosecution said. Moore was later arrested at the Damerham home, with the 63-year-old initially denying the allegations.
Moore’s husband, however, claimed this was not the first time she became physical with him. He said he was previously struck in the face, resulting in a cut above his eye. Three days before the dispute, Moore allegedly hit him in the back with a broom handle as well, according to the court.
Leading up to the confrontation, Moore and her husband were reportedly already arguing during their visits to various pubs, and there was an “ongoing bad feeling,” according to the prosecution. Prosecutors concluded that Moore’s attack was “premeditated.”
The Moores leave court together
Moore said she takes “full blame” for the incident and “completely regrets” the attack against her husband, according to her defense barrister, Rose Burns. At the same time, they argued that her “perception of an imbalance in the relationship” was what ultimately pushed her to supposedly retaliate.
According to the court, Moore sought private mental healthcare on her own initiative to address concerns about her alcohol consumption and depression following the deaths of several family members in recent years. “She is determined [that] her behaviour will change and she wants to try and see if a reconciliation [with her husband] is possible,” Burns told the court.
Moore’s husband requested that his victim impact statement remain undisclosed during the hearing, stating his wish not to file a restraining order against his wife. The husband and wife reportedly left the court together, with Moore being given an 18-month suspended sentence. However, Moore is said to be living in an Airbnb in Dorset now.
