In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Alexander Hale, of Hampshire, was sentenced for a series of violent and predatory offences against a woman and her young daughter. On appearing at Salisbury Crown Court in January 2026, it was reported that the defendant had stalked his victims for months before terrorising them in their own home. The court reported that Hale carried out two counts of assault by beating, one of which targeted the woman’s young daughter.
The investigation established that this violence occurred while Hale was subject to a suspended sentence for previous convictions of Actual Bodily Harm (ABH) and Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH). Hampshire Constabulary reported that in 2024, Hale had been found guilty of harassment, malicious communication, and a breach of a suspended sentence order. The prosecution reported that despite being sentenced to 14 months in 2024 and remaining on licence until December 2024, he continued his campaign of abuse into 2025.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Hale’s behaviour involved a persistent and escalating pattern of domestic terror. Salisbury Crown Court heard how the defendant’s actions in 2025 involved stalking the family for several months before the physical assaults took place. The prosecution reported that the psychological impact of being stalked and attacked in the home environment was a significant factor in the case brought against Hale in Hampshire.
The judge noted the persistent nature of Hale’s offending and his failure to comply with previous court-ordered rehabilitation and suspended sentences. For his actions in Hampshire, Hale was sentenced in January 2026 to 18 weeks in prison; however, due to time already served on remand, he was granted immediate release. The judge noted that a restraining order was essential to provide long-term protection for the victims from further contact or harassment.

Following his sentencing, authorities emphasized that any breach of the restraining order will result in immediate arrest and potentially significant custodial time. Hale’s history of breaching suspended sentences and continuing to stalk victims necessitates permanent and stringent monitoring of his conduct.
