Justin Williams, 55, of Oswald Road, Oswestry, was sentenced at Shrewsbury Crown Court – sitting at Telford Justice Centre, after previously pleading guilty to one charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
Kevin Jones, prosecuting, said the shocking incident had taken place earlier in May 2023.
He told the court that Williams had been in a relationship with the victim for four years, but they had already broken up at the time of the assault.
On the day of the attack the victim had gone to Williams' house at just after 10am.
When inside the property Williams told the victim "you really think I got you here because I love you?".
He then called her a 'slag' and a 'whore' before subjecting her to a vicious and terrifying assault.
During the attack he kicked her in the thigh twice, causing her to fall to the floor.
