After being imprisoned for his dog Elvis attacking and beating a man, Love Island star Jack Fincham was released on bail.
After Robert Sudell’s Cane Corso attacked him, the 33-year-old was taken to court. After admitting to controlling his out-of-control dog, he was given a six-week sentence on Wednesday. However, it is understood he was freed on bail while he appeals the sentence.
At Southend Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, Jack entered a guilty plea to two counts of being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog, with one of the offenses resulting in injury. The first instance happened with a man, Robert Sudell, who accepted an apology from Jack. When Jack’s dog was deemed “out of control” in a second incident, the courts decided that a responsible dog ownership course wasn’t enough.
As well as his jail stint, he was ordered to pay £3, 580 to the courts, including a £200 compensation fee to one of the victims, and a £50 compensation fee to a second victim. After prosecutors claimed he had “no savings,” a payment plan was put together for the reality star to pay £400 monthly after his release.
His dog Elvis first attacked Robert in Swanley, Kent, in September 2022, leaving an injury on his arm and later mauled a woman in Grays, Essex, in June 2024. Thankfully, she wasn’t injured from the attack. According to the TV personality’s presiding magistrate, Anne Wade was the subject of a suspended sentence at the time.
Unfortunately, Jack’s Cane Corso dog struck again in June 2024 in Culford Road in Grays, when a woman in her 40s reported a dog grabbed her leg, leaving no injury. The order, for an unrelated driving matter, was of 12 weeks custody suspended for 18 months. Jack’s dog was required to be kept on a lead, muzzled in public spaces, and not left alone with anyone under the age of 16, but it appears he had broken the law.
As she jailed Jack, Wade said: “we find no reason not to do so. The dog was kept on a lead and was not complying with the rules for being muzzled in public.
Owners must accept responsibility for their dogs, according to Sergeant Alex Watkins of Essex Police, and on several occasions this dog was dangerously out of control. The owner was given the opportunity to correct their behavior on both occasions by offering words of counsel and a conditional caution, which led to the sentence being commuted. I thank both victims for their courage during this investigation. “
