Shocking images show the horrific injuries a woman suffered after her ex- boyfriend bit part of her ear off in a brutal attack back in December.
Christopher Jackson, 31, pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent on Tuesday and has been jailed for seven years and four months at Newcastle Crown Court.
He had already been jailed for eight weeks after being convicted in December 2017 for assaulting his 38-year-old former partner.
As part of that sentence he was handed a 12-month restraining order that banned him from contacting her or entering the street where she lived.

Three weeks after that restraining order expired last December, Jackson went to the woman's home in a bid to try to win her back.
When she turned him away, he launched a savage attack in which he punched, kicked and stamped on her until she was lying unconscious in her home.
However, the victim had been able to make a silent 999 call during the assault and officers arrived on the scene to place Jackson under arrest.
When police found the woman they were shocked to discover she was missing half of her ear.
A pathologists report said the injury would have been caused by Jackson's teeth.
She was taken to hospital to undergo treatment to the ear injury as well as significant bruising to her face, a broken nose and a fractured skull.
