Justin Lee Collins 'made girlfriend recount every sexual encounter for notebook' Mr Shaw said: "The main part of that relationship was characterised by this defendant exerting control over her, verbally abusing her and physically assaulting her." The defendant "exhibited a desire to restrict" his girlfriend's activities, the barrister said. Significantly, Mr Collins resorted to compiling a dossier in the form of a Pukka Pad notebook. The purpose of the notebook was to list every sexual experience with every one of Ms Larke's previous lovers or partners. He would ask her questions and then write it down. She felt it was a disgusting thing to have to do and she was worried that she would lose him by doing it. He sometimes accused her of lying about the details of her past and initially she did lie about her past because she regarded it as acutely private but he told her that it would help the relationship and help him deal with her past. Mr Shaw added: "When Mr Collins was satisfied that Ms Larke had provided a sufficient amount of information he signified his satisfaction with the word 'Done'." Collins was "insistent" that his girlfriend, a recovering alcoholic, "sleep facing towards him and that, if he awoke in the dead of night to find that she turned away from him in the bed, he would rouse her and criticise her for having turned her back to him," the prosecutor said. Mr Shaw said Ms Larke, a video games public relations worker, tried to help the defendant get anger management therapy and sent him a link to a domestic violence course. "Mr Collins would often verbally abuse her and mention details in the pad," said the barrister. He would call her a slag and a filthy whore and similar derogatory terms. He once told her she was riddled with STDs. One entry in the pad referred to a man who expressed a desire to slap the victim which she allowed but found unpleasant and did not want to repeat. Mr Shaw said: "Once, when the defendant lost his temper with Ms Larke, he slapped her in the face. He told her in effect that she must like it in a sexual way because she had allowed a previous boyfriend to do so. He wanted to know from her why he couldn't slap her in the face. Collins, sitting in the dock and wearing his trademark beard and long hair, listened as Mr Shaw added that he had threatened to "put her in hospital unless she shut up." He also physcially stuck her with his hand in an intimate area, it was claimed. A party of schoolchildren on a field trip was sitting in the public gallery. Half left during the prosecution opening. On a trip to Miami in March 2011, Collins grabbed his partner's hair and pulled her to the floor, the barrister said. He pinned her down and spat in her face. She was screaming so loudly that a member of the hotel staff attended the room to see what was happening. In May that year, Collins returned home from filming abroad and was "angry" that Ms Larke had only managed to attend one Alcoholics Anonymous meeting that day rather than two. "He wanted to know what she had been doing while he was away and accused her of infidelity," said Mr Shaw. He was slapping her and she was forced to flee the flat screaming for help. Collins was also said to have assaulted Ms Larke in June 2011. He went to collect her in his car and got angry when she was not where he expected her to be, it was alleged. "He threw a sat nav at her and pulled her hair and yanked her head back," said Mr Shaw. On July 2 the couple visited a pub and Collins told Ms Larke to put her arm around him, the court heard. Ms Larke pointed out a younger couple hugging and said she wanted to be held in the same way. Collins accused her of "fancying the man," Mr Shaw said. Later, back at their house, a row ensued and Ms Larke recorded it. Clips were played in which Collins is heard shouting: "You f***** up at the pub. When you're f****** with me, you look at the f****** ground, you look at a tree, you look at a bench, you look at any f****** inanimate object, you do not look at any other f****** human being, you slag, do you understand? In the recording, Collins accuses Ms Larke of being "very promiscuous" and having had 50 lovers. Collins denies harassing his ex-partner.
