PETERBOROUGH, Ontario (June 14) - A judge has ruled that a 24-year-old Canadian man is not allowed to have a girlfriend for the next three years.

The ruling came after Steven Cranley pleaded guilty on Tuesday to several charges stemming from an assault on a former girlfriend.

Cranley, who has been diagnosed with a dependent personality disorder, attacked his girlfriend in an argument after their breakup.

He tried to prevent her from phoning the police by cutting her phone cord and punched and kicked her. He finally stabbed himself with a butcher knife when police did arrive, puncturing his aorta.

Doctors say Cranley has difficulty coping with rejection and runs a high risk to re-offend if he becomes involved in another intimate relationship.

Justice Rhys Morgan said Cranley "cannot form a romantic relationship of an intimate nature with a female person.

"That is the only way I can see the protection of the public is in place until you get the counseling you need."

Cranley had already served 146 days in pre-trail custody, which Morgan said was enough jail time in this case.

His lawyer says the no girlfriend order is the first of its kind that he has encountered.

That sounds like cruel and unusual punishment to me. Besides, this guy probably belongs in the loony bin. If he's too psychologically unstable to even have a girlfriend without beating her, then that's where he ought to be.

we need to sit back and try to understand the reasoning here,,,this is weaker than a restraining order and we all know that shit don't work... this guy should of been punished by having to live with a big polish lady who could kick his ass for 3 years...

Or..what?

Don't let the man get you down son... Really how can they inforce such things?

I think it'd be more cruel and unusual if he goes off the wall and beats the hell out of any girl that decides to leave him. I agree 100% with you though, he should just be committed, or at least put on some heavy meds.
