Man behind bars for stalking his ex-partner for two-years

Main article content

Published: 15:19 17/11/2023

A man has been sentenced to two years and one month behind bars after subjecting a woman to stalking and domestic abuse.

Jake Alexander, 31, (DOB 14/01/1992) was found guilty of stalking, non-fatal strangulation and perverting the course of justice at Guildford Crown Court and sentenced on Wednesday (15th November).

Over the course of their two-year relationship, the survivor tried to break up with him over 50 times, but Alexander refused to accept the decision and instead began stalking her by consistently calling, messaging, emailing and arriving at her home address to try and prevent breaking up. He broke into her home several times including whilst she was sleeping, where he would steal her belongings and then later return them in a bid for attention. In a few instances, the stalking turned to violence when he strangled her.

Since December 2022, Alexander has had bail conditions not to contact the survivor, which he repeatedly ignored. He would call numerous times on a no caller ID, begging her to not speak to the police. He even offered her £1,000 to not speak to the police or give a statement. Alexander was remanded and has remained in HMP since March.

Following the outcome from the court, the survivor has been given a five-year restraining order against Alexander.

Investigating Officer Charlotte Barrett said: “Alexander subjected the survivor to an abusive and controlling relationship, of which his actions have had a significant impact on her. The survivor in this case has been extremely brave in coming forward and supporting the investigation.

“I hope this sentence will go some way in providing closure to the survivor of this case. Surrey Police takes all reports of domestic abuse and stalking seriously. If you suspect that someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, or if you’re experiencing domestic abuse yourself, please reach out to us.”

We have specialist support for survivors in place throughout the investigation and court process. If you aren’t ready to speak to us, reach out to one of the brilliant Surrey-based charities who can offer sanctuary and practical, as well as emotional, support.
