batterer

A felon or domestic batterer or disturbed person need only find a person with a clean background to buy a weapon for him.

But a man who is already a batterer, he is probably going to abuse his partner more often in a stressful situation.

It tore me apart Friday when I heard that Rihanna was already planning to reconcile with her batterer.

It is Ocean, usurper of Earth's deepest vales, besieger of islands, batterer of continents.
