Man Sentenced to Five Years for Arson and Stalking in Domestic Abuse Case

Man Sentenced to Five Years for Arson and Stalking in Domestic Abuse Case

Adam Woodhouse received a five-year prison sentence after a year-long campaign of harassment and violence against his ex-partner.
Adam Woodhouse, a 35-year-old resident of Harrow, has been sentenced to five years in prison following a series of offenses related to stalking and domestic abuse against his former partner.

The sentencing took place at Harrow Crown Court, where Woodhouse was convicted of multiple charges, including cyber-flashing, arson with intent, and stalking.

The case details reveal a prolonged period of harassment that began after the end of Woodhouse's relationship with the victim.

Over the course of a year, he inundated her with hundreds of abusive messages and phone calls, recorded videos of her at her home, and deliberately vandalized her property, including breaking garden pots and windows of her car.

In July, Woodhouse escalated his actions by breaking into his ex-partner's home, where he stole her house keys and her car.

The culmination of his harassment occurred in September 2024 when he set fire to a moped parked outside her residence.

This act posed a significant risk to the victim and her children, who were inside the house at the time.

Fortunately, the London Fire Brigade quickly intervened, ensuring no injuries occurred.

After the arson incident, Woodhouse contacted his ex-girlfriend, where he reportedly laughed and boasted about his actions, further traumatizing the victim.

In addition to these actions, he sent unsolicited and threatening images of his genitals while evading police capture.

Woodhouse was arrested on September 30 in Lincolnshire.

Upon arrest, he exhibited aggressive behavior towards officers, which included stealing interview papers and using profane language.

He was also charged with criminal damage after urinating in his custody cell.

Following his guilty pleas to arson with intent to endanger life, stalking, cyber-flashing, burglary, and criminal damage, the sentencing included a lifetime restraining order barring him from contacting the victim.

The judge characterized Woodhouse as a 'dangerous offender.'

Detective Constable Olivia Fox from the North West Public Protection Unit described Woodhouse as a repeated domestic abuser.

She noted that the victim was initially fearful of supporting the investigation but later demonstrated considerable resilience in pursuing justice.

The investigation and trial underscore ongoing efforts within law enforcement to better support victims of domestic abuse and ensure they receive appropriate justice.
