A man who repeatedly violated court orders by sending threatening messages to two women and reaching out to them on social media was sentenced to prison today.
Jack Bolton-Poole, who had previously been given a suspended sentence for stalking the same women in 2024, pleaded guilty in November 2025 to the new charges after first denying them.
The 24-year-old resident of Rochford sent an email titled “WE WILL KILL YOU,” containing threats directed at one victim, while the other woman received a message to her workplace email stating Bolton-Poole had “taken his own life.” Additionally, he sent an email with the phrase “a life for a life” woven into the message.
Both women contacted police, fearing for their safety.
Personal details, including one woman’s work address, had been included in the emails.
An investigation by detectives quickly traced one of the email accounts back to an IP address associated with Bolton-Poole’s home.
He was arrested in February 2025 and declined to answer questions.
A search of his laptop revealed internet searches for one of the victim’s workplaces and notes on setting up a new email account.
He faced multiple charges: two counts of stalking causing fear of violence, two counts of harassment for breaching a restraining order, and four counts related to breaching stalking prevention orders.
Initially denying the charges, Bolton-Poole appeared at Basildon Crown Court in November 2025, where he admitted two stalking counts involving fear of violence and two harassment charges for breaching a restraining order.
The remaining charges were left on file.
He was released on conditional bail but broke those conditions in January by attempting to contact one of the victims through social media, using a false profile under a woman’s name to follow her on Instagram.
Police arrested him at his home and found an unregistered device in his wardrobe.
Further charges were added: five counts of breaching stalking orders and one count of harassment for breaching a restraining order.
Despite refusing to speak during police interviews, Bolton-Poole pleaded guilty to these offences at Basildon Crown Court on January 14 and was remanded into custody.
On April 17, at the same court, Bolton-Poole, of Doggetts Close, was sentenced to nearly six years in prison, receiving a sentence of five years and ten months.
