Man Jailed for Domestic Abuse and Assault Following Crown Court Trial

December 2024

A man has been sentenced to more than three and a half years in prison following a series of domestic abuse and violent offences, after a case heard at Manchester Crown Court.

Jack Davies was convicted on 5 December 2024 of multiple charges, including controlling and coercive behaviour, assault, and assault on an emergency worker, following a trial in which he initially pleaded not guilty. He was sentenced to a total of 44 months’ imprisonment and made subject to an indefinite restraining order.

The court heard that Davies engaged in a sustained pattern of abusive behaviour involving intimidation, violence, and coercive control. His actions caused significant distress and led to repeated police involvement.

Earlier hearings at Bolton Crown Court in May 2024 resulted in Davies being remanded in custody, with the case later progressing to trial. Evidence presented to the court detailed escalating abuse over time, including a violent incident involving an emergency worker responding to a domestic situation.

Following sentencing, the court confirmed that the restraining order permanently prohibits Davies from making any direct or indirect contact with the victim. Due to the length of the sentence and the violent nature of the offences, the Victim Contact Scheme will now be involved to provide ongoing safeguarding and updates.

Davies is currently in custody and is expected to be released in January 2026, subject to licence conditions. Upon release, he will remain subject to strict supervision and the terms of the restraining order.

Clare’s Law and Public Safety

This case highlights the importance of Clare’s Law (the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme), which allows individuals to request information from police about a partner’s history of domestic abuse, violence, or controlling behaviour.

Clare’s Law can be requested by an individual for themselves or by a third party concerned for someone’s safety. Where relevant information exists, police may disclose it to help prevent further harm.

Anyone concerned about a partner or former partner’s behaviour is urged to contact their local police force or domestic abuse support services for advice and protection.
