A Bognor man has been jailed for 18 weeks for breaching the terms of a Stalking Protection Order.

38 year old Brenton Kay from Upper Bognor Road, was handed the protection order and a restraining order in September 2020, after reports of threats, harassment and criminal damage against a woman.

Then on 8th June this year, the woman reported receiving 17 calls from Kay within 20 minutes, between 6.40am and 7am, as well as WhatsApps threatening her with violence.

Kay was arrested and found to be in possession of a knuckleduster and a kubaton – a small baton commonly attached to a keychain.

He was charged with breaching a Stalking Protection Order, breach of a Restraining Order, possession of a Class B drug and possession of an offensive weapon.

Kay admitted all counts at Crawley Magistrates Court on 17th June, and has been jailed.

Detective Inspector Kay Hutchings said:

“Brenton Kay’s fixated, aggressive and intimidating behaviour has had a devastating impact on his victim for a number of years.

“Kay flagrantly disregarded the conditions of orders put in place to protect her and has now been put behind bars where he can pose no further threat.

"He will remain subject to a Stalking Protection Order to offer further protection for his victim.

“I would like to thank his victim for supporting this investigation under extremely challenging circumstances.

“If you are a victim of domestic abuse, please report it to us online or via 101. Always dial 999 in an emergency.”
