A Leon Knighton, aged 24 in January 2022 and residing on Mill Road, Woodford, was sentenced to 21 months in prison. This sentence followed his guilty plea to charges related to sending explicit images of his former partner, breaching a non-molestation order, and a series of vehicle thefts dating back to 2019. The Northampton Crown Court heard details of these offences on January 26, 2022. The court was informed that Knighton had breached a non-molestation order in October 2021 by sending abusive messages with screenshots of an explicit video to his ex-partner's friends. Later, in November 2021, he further breached the order by following his ex-partner in his car, driving onto her front garden, and honking the horn aggressively. Additionally, he admitted to concealing criminal property after three stolen vehicles with altered number plates were found in a container he was renting. The judge noted that he posed a "significant threat of causing harm" to future partners.

More recently, a Leon Knighton, aged 29 and also from Mill Road, Woodford, was charged with three counts of theft in East Northamptonshire. These incidents occurred between June 16 and June 26, 2026, and involved the theft of food items, washing tablets, a parcel of ladies' clothing, alcohol, and a willow basket from various locations in Higham Ferrers, Rushden, and Stanwick. He was scheduled to appear before Northampton Magistrates' Court on July 1, 2026. This individual also had a plea hearing at Northampton Magistrates' Court on May 27, 2026, facing charges including driving whilst disqualified, using a motor vehicle without third-party insurance, failing to provide a specimen for analysis, theft from a shop, and taking a motor vehicle without the owner's consent.

Additionally, a "Leo Knight" was found guilty of manslaughter in May 2024, but this is a different name.
