A man convicted of raping and stalking a woman asked if he could call his parents as he was being arrested.

Jack-Leland Webster of Cedar Road, Earl Shilton, Leicester has been sentenced to nine years and five months in jail for several offences including rape, strangulation and stalking, while living in Manchester. He pleaded guilty at a previous hearing.

Webster, previously Jack Malone, attacked and raped his victim whilst threatening to kill her. Whilst on bail, he stalked her through hundreds of fake social media accounts.

Bodycam footage released by Greater Manchester Police on Wednesday (8 April) shows the moment police arrest Webster. He can be heard asking if he can “call my parents”.

During Wednesday’s sentencing, he was also given an indefinite restraining order.
