JAY FRISBY – CHESTERFIELD

Chesterfield man jailed after campaign of harassment and domestic abuse

A Chesterfield man with a long history of harassment and domestic abuse offences has been jailed following a sustained campaign of intimidation towards a former partner.

Jay Frisby appeared before the courts after repeatedly breaching orders and continuing to contact the victim despite clear restrictions being in place.

The court heard that Frisby carried out a pattern of persistent harassment, including repeated phone calls, messages and turning up at addresses he was banned from attending. His behaviour caused significant distress and fear to the victim, with the situation escalating over time.

This was not an isolated incident. The court was told Frisby has an extensive criminal history, with around 15 previous convictions for 23 offences, including multiple previous cases of harassment.

Despite previous court orders and warnings, he continued to offend, showing a clear disregard for the law and the safety of others.

In this case, Frisby admitted offences including harassment and breaching court-imposed conditions. The judge described his behaviour as persistent and concerning, highlighting the repeated nature of his offending.

As a result, Frisby was sentenced to a period of imprisonment. The court made it clear that his continued pattern of behaviour and failure to comply with previous orders left no alternative but custody.

Ongoing concerns and history

Reports linked to Frisby describe a pattern of controlling and intimidating behaviour across multiple incidents, with repeated breaches of bail or restraining conditions forming part of his record.

Authorities have previously raised concerns about the risk he poses due to his repeated offending and unwillingness to comply with court orders.

Clare’s Law

Cases like this highlight the importance of Clare’s Law (Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme), which allows individuals to request information from police about a partner’s history of abusive behaviour.

* Right to Ask – members of the public can request information
* Right to Know – police can proactively disclose information if someone may be at risk

If you are concerned about someone’s behaviour, you can contact your local police force or apply online for a disclosure.
