Jailed

 As you’ve probably seen, we’ve been sharing examples of domestic-related incidents over the past few months, and where we can, we’ve been letting you know what happens to offenders in these cases.

As part of an offender’s sentencing at court, they might be given a restraining order or have a protection from harassment order put in place, which prevents them from contacting certain people or going to specific addresses. These orders intend to keep victims safe even after sentences have come to an end.

Recently, a woman called to say her former partner had breached his restraining order by turning up at her home. The order had been imposed in court as part of a punishment for domestic-related assaults and strangulation, and is in place until 2027.

This this was the fourth time he had breached the order as he had previously contacted the victim by phoning her, and there was clear evidence on CCTV.
Officers quickly arrived and arrested the man, who was charged and remanded in custody.

He has since been jailed for 36 weeks, and must pay fines and costs of £272.

We hope that by sharing outcomes like this, we can highlight how court orders on top of other sentences can protect victims from coming to future harm.
