A vicar's wife has told a tribunal how her husband led a double life as a bisexual sex addict. Mrs Day, who is now estranged from the vicar, said he grew "powerful and menacing" and even strangled her with a scarf until she couldn't breathe and spanked her for wearing shorts around workmen. Mrs Day said that others outside the marriage would not have been aware of his behaviour because he 'projected himself to be a successful and respectable person'.

Mrs Day discovered that her ex-husband had been involved with a number of men.
