He appeared at Stoke on Trent Crown Court on Thursday, November 9.
Following the sentencing, police praised the "astounding" bravery of Dodd's victim.
Detective Constable Izzy Broxton said: “First and foremost, the bravery and courage that the victim showed throughout this investigation was astounding.
“During the court process, Mr Dodd entered a guilty plea and we welcome the sentence he received, although we recognise that this will never take away from the damage that he has caused.
“Thank you to the victim and the various other individuals involved in supporting her, which in turn has allowed us to seek some form of justice.
“We will act on all reports made and offer our full support to anyone who feels they are a victim of domestic abuse – as this case shows we take any reports very seriously”.
