In 2025, the Offender Database recorded that Jamie Walker, 37, was jailed for a relentless campaign of stalking and domestic violence against his ex-wife. On appearing at Truro Crown Court in November 2025, the defendant, formerly of Baker Street, Exeter, Devon, was sentenced to 30 months in prison. It was reported that during an eight-year relationship, Walker subjected his victim to extreme physical abuse—including beating her with spanners and placing a plastic bin bag over her head to suffocate her—leaving her in constant fear for her life.
The investigation established the “devious and manipulative” nature of Walker’s conduct. Devon and Cornwall Police reported that the criminal campaign escalated between January 2023 and January 2025 at an address in the Bodmin area. The prosecution reported that Walker used strangulation to the point of near-unconsciousness as a method of control, causing the victim to live with a “blackness in her soul,” fully resigned to the belief that he would eventually kill her.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Walker was a high-risk offender who used gaslighting and isolation to break his victim’s sanity. Truro Crown Court heard a harrowing victim impact statement detailing how Walker destroyed her business, isolated her from family, and manipulated her into a cycle of self-blame. The investigation established that Walker had dozens of previous convictions for similar domestic abuse offences, as well as fraud and romance scamming, which were only revealed to the victim through a later Clare’s Law application.
The Sentencing Judge described Walker as a dangerous offender who was highly volatile with a capacity for unpredictable violence. For his actions in Bodmin and St Austell, Walker was handed a 30-month custodial sentence. The judge also imposed a 10-year restraining order, noting that Walker’s traumatic history was no excuse for the “soul-destroying” isolation and physical terror he inflicted on his partner.
Status and Statutory Requirements
For the crimes reported in England, the status of Jamie Walker is as follows:
- Custodial Sentence: 30 months in prison (Sentenced November 2025).
- Restraining Order: 10 years (Banning all contact with the victim and her parents).
- Judicial Oversight: Sentenced at Truro Crown Court following a Devon and Cornwall Police investigation.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Walker is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) to ensure the safety of the survivor and the wider public. Due to the nature of his conduct in Cornwall, which involved suffocation and a “relentless” campaign of harassment, his management is a priority for the Public Protection Unit. Authorities state that his history of romance scamming and previous domestic violence convictions necessitates strict monitoring of his future relationships and digital activity to prevent him from targeting further victims.
As a convicted violent offender, Walker’s details remain part of the national record. Authorities state that his history of using tools as weapons and threatening death in Bodmin requires permanent vigilance. Any future attempt to breach his 10-year restraining order, engage in further stalking, or fail to disclose his status to new partners will result in immediate arrest and an instant return to the prison system.
