In June 2026 a Worcester court handed a shocking sentence: Jack Park was barred from entering the entire city for five years after a campaign of severe harassment.
1. The Crime: Severe Harassment
The victims, whose identities are protected, reported a relentless pattern of threats, stalking, and intimidation that escalated over months, prompting police involvement.
2. How the City Ban Works
Under the Serious Crime Act 2023, courts can issue a geographic exclusion order, preventing the offender from entering specified areas. Failure to comply is a summary offence.
Legal Basis
The order is enforceable by local police, who can arrest the offender on sight within the banned zone.
3. Impact on the Community
The ban sparked debate about proportionality and public safety, with local councils weighing the balance between deterrence and civil liberties.
