Milton Keynes man jailed for domestic abuse
Nathan Stear sentenced to two years for violent attacks on partner
A man from Milton Keynes has been sentenced to two years in prison after admitting to repeated domestic abuse against his partner.
Nathan Stear, 37, of North Row, Milton Keynes, received the sentence at Aylesbury Crown Court on 23rd January 2026. The court also imposed an indefinite restraining order to prevent Stear from contacting his victim.
He pleaded guilty to three charges during the hearing: assault occasioning actual bodily harm, theft, and assault by beating.
The abuse took place at multiple locations in Milton Keynes between May and August 2025. Stear subjected his victim, a woman in her thirties, to violent and coercive behaviour, which left her with significant injuries. These included bruises across her legs, arms, and neck, scratches, and eye injuries caused by attempted gouging.
The series of assaults culminated in a particularly violent attack in August 2025, during which Stear tried to gouge his victim’s eyes, threatened her, and threw a bed onto her.
He was arrested on 4th August 2025 and charged the following day.
Detective Constable Charlotte Pratt, from Thames Valley Police’s Domestic Abuse Investigation Unit, commended the bravery of the victim after the sentencing.
“Nathan Stear subjected his victim to repeated and escalating abuse,” Pratt said.
“This was a sustained and terrifying attack, which has left lasting physical and emotional injuries.
“The victim has shown extraordinary bravery, and I have immense admiration for her.
“She wants other victims to know that they can come forward, that they deserve to be heard, and that they can break free from abuse. She sees herself now not as a victim, but as a survivor.”
Pratt encouraged anyone concerned about a partner or ex‑partner to use the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme, also known as Clare’s Law.
“This allows people to ask police whether a current or former partner has a history of abusive behaviour. It is an important tool for helping people protect themselves and make informed decisions,” she said.
Thames Valley Police urge anyone experiencing domestic abuse, or worrying about someone else’s safety, to contact them via 101 or 999 in emergencies.
Support can also be offered anonymously through Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111. For details on how to make a Clare’s Law information request, visit the Thames Valley Police website.
