A former Poole policeman's been found guilty of assaulting his pregnant ex-girlfriend because he didn't want her to have his baby - and jailed for 10 years.

35 year old Matthew Cherry had denied punching Caroline Craft - also a Dorset police officer - repeatedly in the head and stomach at her Bournemouth flat in March 2011 ... so she'd miscarry.

P-C Craft gave birth to a healthy baby boy last summer - but has called Cherry's actions 'callous, cold-hearted and utterly selfish'.
