Stafford Man Sentenced to Prison for Domestic Abuse Offences
A man from Stafford has been imprisoned for more than 18 months after attacking his ex-partner and sending her threatening emails. Kieran Hemming, aged 41, carried out a violent assault in June 2024, which included strangling the victim following an argument inside a property.
Series of Abusive Incidents Leads to Charges
Following the initial attack, Hemming sent a number of threatening emails to the survivor. Then, in September 2024, he turned up at her address, demanding to speak to her. He forced his way inside, pushed her to the floor, and then left the premises.
Staffordshire Police became aware of the abuse and officers worked tirelessly to support the victim and bring charges against Hemming. As a result, he later pleaded guilty to multiple offences at Stafford Crown Court.
Court Sentencing and Police Response
On Tuesday, March 17, 2026, Hemming was sentenced to one year and eight months in prison. The charges included:
- Intentional strangulation
- Assault by beating
- Harassment – putting someone in fear of violence
Detective Constable Jessica Scott from the criminal investigations department stated: "Hemming subjected the survivor to a torrent of physical and emotional abuse and has rightfully been brought to justice for his actions. We’re determined to support survivors of domestic abuse and to act robustly against those responsible."
Support for Domestic Abuse Survivors
A spokesperson for Staffordshire Police emphasized their commitment to helping survivors of domestic abuse. They urged anyone affected to come forward when ready, providing contact options including calling 101 or using Live Chat on their website.
The case highlights the serious consequences of domestic violence and the importance of reporting such incidents to authorities for investigation and prosecution.
