Mother warns against Internet dating

A mother-of-two has warned against the dangers of internet dating after being beaten up by a salesman just weeks after meeting him online.

Pretty Miss Hulbert met Taylor, a high-flying salesman who claimed to be a former policeman, on popular dating website last December.

But he went from being a perfect gentlemen to a brutal thug when he launched a violent attack on terrified Miss Hulbert, breaking her cheekbone and leaving her hospitalised.

Now Taylor, 34, has been sentenced to a two-year community order at court and given a restraining order, banning him from contacting Susan or entering Chelmsley Wood.
