A man who used a prison telephone to threaten his victim multiple times has been charged as part of a major police operation.

Jai Taylor, 32, from Nowra was sentenced to jail in May 2022, following a police pursuit charge.

Taylor was mentioned in Nowra Local Court on Wednesday on new charges, including six counts of use carriage service to threaten to kill, use carriage service to threaten serious harm and 24 counts of contravene prohibition/restriction in AVO (domestic).

Solicitor Brett Ford entered pleas of guilty to all charges except one count of contravene restriction in AVO, where he pleaded not guilty on Taylor’s behalf.

Agreed facts stated Taylor called his partner (who he domestically abused) 31 times in prison between August 7 and August 30, 2022.

While the majority of the phone calls consisted of Taylor asking the victim “what are you wearing”, a handful involved threats due to fear his partner was cheating on him.

Agreed facts stated in one call on August 10, Taylor’s partner stated she was hanging out with another guy, which began an argument between the pair.

“Hang out with him and we are done. He is a gronk he needs to get his head f-----g off. If I hear you’re talking to him the spastic gronk c--- and we’re done. I hate that f-----g maggot,” Taylor said in the call.

His partner asked why he was so angry, with Taylor replying, “Because I f------g hate that loser. I want the loser dead.”

In another call on August 15, Taylor threatened to kill his partner after the same argument arose and due to high tensions, Taylor’s partner called him a “mutt”.

“Don’t f-----g call me a mutt c--- or you’ll be next.”

Each time a phone call was made, Taylor was breaking the DVO orders, strictly stating to “not contact” the victim.

“The accused continues to knowingly breach his domestic violence order and finds any means possible to do this,” agreed facts stated.

Taylor was one of 600 people charged with serious offences between January 24 and January 27, following a new high-impact operation targeting the state’s most dangerous domestic violence offenders, known as ‘Operation Amarok’.

The operation also saw 648 people arrested, which included 164 of NSW’s most wanted domestic violence offenders.

Magistrate Lisa Viney adjourned the matter until March 6.
