Reality TV personality Jack Fincham, known for his appearance on Love Island, has been sentenced to six weeks in prison for dangerous dog offences related to his Cane Corso, Elvis. The court also ordered him to pay £3580 in compensation and fines.
Reality TV star Jack Fincham has been sentenced to six weeks in prison for dangerous dog offences after his Cane Corso attacked a man. The former Love Island winner was also ordered to pay £3580 to the courts, including £200 compensation to one victim and £50 to another. Upon release, Fincham will pay £400 per month as part of a payment plan agreed upon with the court.
Fincham's girlfriend, Chloe Brockett, who is a star on the reality show The Only Way Is Essex, was present at the Southend Magistrates’ Court and wept as he received his sentence. He was also supported by his brother and parents. The 32-year-old faced legal consequences after his dog, Elvis, attacked a man in Grays, Essex, in June 2022. While no serious injuries were inflicted, the incident led to charges. On September 23, 2022, Elvis attacked Robert Sudell in Swanley, Kent, according to court documents. This incident further contributed to Fincham's legal troubles. Previously, Fincham had faced criticism for purchasing a Doberman with cropped ears from Russia in 2021. Ear cropping is illegal in the UK and often undertaken to make dogs appear more intimidating. This case comes amidst growing concerns about Cane Corsos gaining popularity as 'status dogs', particularly following the ban of XL Bullies nationwide. There has been a surge in demand for Cane Corsos, with over 200 listed for sale on Pets4Home, ranging in price from £500 to £1,800. Dr Samantha Gaines, RSPCA's dog welfare expert and lead for dog control, commented on the trend, stating, 'We've seen trends in different pets being used for antisocial behaviour and as, so-called, 'status dogs' in the past; from Staffordshire bull terriers to Rottweilers to, most recently, American XL Bullies.' Gaines added, 'Sadly, since the XL Bully was banned last year, it was inevitable attention would shift onto another large, powerful breed. But what's most important to remember, is the overwhelming majority of these big dogs are kept responsibly as part of loving families across the UK.
