In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Kyle Pakey, then 35, now of Stanley Street, Rotherham, South Yorkshire, was jailed for two years for a campaign of jealousy-fuelled violence and “vicious” threats against his former partner. On Tuesday, 24 February 2026, the defendant appeared at Truro Crown Court for sentencing. The court reported that Pakey had subjected his victim to multiple assaults in Truro, Cornwall, and issued “harrowing” threats to petrol bomb her family home and throw acid at her mother.
The investigation established that the relationship, which began in mid-2024, descended into cocaine and alcohol-fuelled violence. Devon and Cornwall Police reported that in November 2024, Pakey flew into a rage over a text message the victim had sent to another man before she had even met him. The prosecution reported that he grabbed the victim’s face and forced his fingers into her skin. In a subsequent attack in August 2025, he slapped her and landed repeated blows to her face, resulting in a perforated eardrum and a bite mark in Truro, Cornwall.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Pakey’s behaviour escalated into stalking after the victim fled to Birmingham, West Midlands, to seek safety with her family. Truro Crown Court heard how the defendant repeatedly contacted her, threatening to have her younger brother violated and to “burn her parents’ house to the ground.” The prosecution reported that in September 2025, Pakey returned to her home in Truro and smashed a window; during his arrest, he became so hostile that officers were forced to use pepper spray to subdue him.
The judge noted that Pakey has a prolific criminal history, with 14 previous convictions for 27 offences. For his actions in Truro, Cornwall, and the threats made toward the victim’s family in Birmingham, he was told that his conduct was “appalling” and calculated to cause maximum terror. The judge noted that the two-year custodial sentence was necessary to protect the victim and her family from a man who used “devious and manipulative” tactics to maintain control through fear.
Sentence and Statutory Requirements
For his crimes in England, Kyle Pakey was handed:
- Custodial Sentence: Two years in prison.
- Restraining Order: A five-year order was imposed to protect the victim and her family.
- Judicial Oversight: Sentenced at Truro Crown Court following guilty pleas.
- Criminal Record: Convicted of two counts of assault causing actual bodily harm (ABH), stalking involving fear of violence, and criminal damage.
- Origin: Rotherham, South Yorkshire (formerly Truro, Cornwall).
Monitoring and Public Protection
Pakey is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) by Devon and Cornwall Police, South Yorkshire Police, and the prison estate. Due to the “violent and obsessive” nature of his stalking and the gravity of his threats in Truro, Cornwall, and Birmingham, West Midlands, his management is subject to high-level oversight by the National Probation Service.
Upon his eventual release, Pakey must comply with the strict conditions of his five-year restraining order, which prohibits any contact with the victim or her family. Authorities state that his history of 27 offences and his hostility toward police necessitate permanent and stringent monitoring of his conduct and residency in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. Any breach of his restraining order or further violent misconduct in Cornwall, Yorkshire, or elsewhere will result in immediate arrest and a return to the court system for a lengthier term of incarceration.
