United KingdomJack Shepherd, a 38-year-old man previously convicted of manslaughter for a fatal speedboat accident in 2015, has been charged with attacking his new girlfriend after his release from prison in 2024. The charges include intentional suffocation, controlling and coercive behavior, and criminal damage. His alleged victim, a woman in her 50s, reported incidents of violence and coercive behavior by Shepherd, leading to his arrest in August 2025. Shepherd had been released on bail but was later recalled to custody due to violations of his bail conditions, including contacting his victim and missing curfews. Shepherd's prior conviction involved a deadly speedboat crash on the Thames that killed his passenger, Charlotte Brown, in 2015. He fled to Georgia after the incident but was later extradited back to the UK.
