ESSEX STALKER JAILED AFTER HOLIDAY ROMANCE TURNED TO VIOLENCE
O’Neil threatened to use acid on a woman from the Bradford area, whom he met on holiday in Tenerife after she ended their relationship due to his extreme behaviour.
He then travelled more than 200 miles from his home in Essex, daubed the words “slag” on her house and “slut” on her car, and later broke into her property when his trains were cancelled.
His stalking was so extreme it was described as having “every aggravating feature short of him killing her.” The victim said: “It’s had a massive impact on me and my children...
I’ve been diagnosed with PTSD, and I suffer with anxiety, nerves, and stress.” He later pleaded guilty to stalking with violence, criminal damage, burglary with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm (GBH), and assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH).
He was sentenced to four years in prison for stalking, plus additional terms for other offences, and ordered to abide by an indefinite restraining order prohibiting all contact with the victim.
