An Army dentist who sent a stream of ‘distressing’ messages to her SAS ex-boyfriend’s new partner has been secretly sacked by senior officers following allegations that she has again been stalking her victim.

Major Jennifer Wilson had been allowed to continue serving in the Army after pleading guilty to harassment and malicious communications, including bombarding Tobi-Jayne Cadbury with aggressive messages.

Wilson, an Afghan War veteran, also sent naked pictures of Christian Craighead – a former SAS soldier decorated for saving hundreds of lives in a terrorist attack in Kenya – to Ms Cadbury, who was in a relationship with the elite soldier at the time.

Mr Craighead earned a Conspicuous Gallantry Cross after fighting terrorists from al-Shabaab – an Islamist group linked to al-Qaeda, who attacked the Dusit D2 hotel in Nairobi, Kenya, in 2019.

Wilson, 43, was forced to resign by defence chiefs at the end of last year. They said her behaviour was incompatible with military service.

A soldier of any rank may be ordered to resign if their conduct falls foul of military discipline.

One defence source said: ‘Maj Wilson had hoped to continue serving in the Army. I think she always realised it was going to be a long shot. She is now attempting to rebuild her life.

‘Given the publicity surrounding the trial, and her relationship with a former member of the SAS, it was always going to be difficult to rejoin the Army.

‘The bottom line is that her position had become untenable and in cases like this soldiers are told they must resign.’

In December 2023, Wilson pleaded guilty at Aylesbury Crown Court to charges relating to social media messages. Her defence team said at the time that it was an ‘internet spat which got out of hand’.

In June 2024, Wilson, who suffers from depression and PTSD after serving in Afghanistan, escaped a custodial sentence.

Instead she received a community order, including 30 sessions of an accredited programme requirement, 15 Rehabilitation Activity Requirement days and 100 hours of unpaid work.

She also received a ten-year restraining order banning her from contacting her victims.

Ms Cadbury, 38, said: ‘I’m disappointed that the Army and the Ministry of Defence have tried to save face by quietly sacking Wilson in the hope no one will notice.’

Back in the 2010s, Wilson had been in a relationship with Mr Craighead for about four years. But after finding out that he had a new partner, she began bombarding him with messages.

She then turned her attention to Ms Cadbury. ‘She bulldozed into my life under the disguise of 52 anonymous social media accounts,’ Ms Cadbury told the MoS last year.

‘It was relentless. Every time I blocked one, a new account would appear, sending me more disgusting messages.’

An Army source said: ‘We expect very high standards of behaviour of our personnel, whether they are on or off duty.

‘Those who have fallen short of the Army’s high standards are dealt with administratively and may face sanctions including dismissal.’
