Alan Earwaker, 35, from Haydock, has been locked up for nine years following a brutal campaign of sexual and physical abuse against his victim.
Brutal Abuse Earns Nine-Year Sentence
Earwaker pleaded guilty to a laundry list of horrific crimes including controlling and coercive behaviour, rape, stalking, assault by beating, intentional strangulation, criminal damage, threats to kill, public order offences, and common assault.
Alongside his jail term, he’s been slapped with an indefinite restraining order and must notify authorities of his whereabouts indefinitely.
Victim’s Brave Stand Brings Justice
The victim showed remarkable courage by reporting multiple incidents to Merseyside Police. Earwaker was arrested in June 2025 and charged following a thorough investigation.
“Earwaker abused, threatened, stalked and sexually assaulted his victim,” said Detective Inspector Graeme Kehoe. “Despite his horrific crimes, she bravely reported these incidents to our officers and gave several lengthy statements that ensured his prison sentence.”
“I want to praise the courage and dignity shown by the victim throughout the investigation and court proceedings.”
Police Plea: Speak Out and Stay Safe
DI Kehoe added: “This sentencing shows how seriously the courts treat these offences and highlights Merseyside Police’s commitment to protect anyone from violence and sexual abuse.”
“If you’ve been a victim, worry about someone’s safety, or suspect abuse, please come forward. Our specially trained officers will treat you with care and professionalism.”
Support services like Victim Care Support Service and RASA offer vital help to survivors.
