NOTTINGHAM MAN JAILED FOR STALKING EX JUST DAYS AFTER RELEASE FROM PRISON
A Nottingham dad-of-two who repeatedly breached court orders not to contact his former partner caused her to live in fear when he did so just two days after being released from prison.Nottingham Crown Court heard how Grant contacted the victim through calls, one of which included him stating he "had eyes on her," leaving her terrified that she was being watched.
The woman expressed that she feels like a prisoner in her own home, preventing her daughter from playing outside and contemplating moving to avoid him.
Grant, with 10 convictions for 19 offences, pleaded guilty to breaching both a restraining and a stalking protection order.
The judge, Mark Watson, sentenced him to two years in prison, extending the orders to keep her safe.
Grant’s criminal behavior was described as part of a pattern, with the victim suffering panic attacks, PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
Court records show he was involved in a relationship with her for about six years, with a significant domestic violence background.
At the sentencing, it was emphasized that Grant’s breaches had made the victim feel powerless and unsafe in her own home, and that she fears he will never stop his threatening behavior.
