MAN JAILED FOR BREACHING RESTRAINING ORDER
A man who repeatedly violated a court-issued restraining order has been sentenced to jail.Curtis Saunderson, aged 44, received the order in December, which prohibited him from contacting his former partner and from visiting her residence in Peterborough until May 2027.
Despite this, he breached the injunction multiple times between April 21 and May 19, attempting to reach the victim by phone on several occasions and visiting her home multiple times.
On one of these visits, Saunderson was recorded on a video doorbell using a concrete tile to shatter the front windows of the victim’s house.
He was detained in Bretton on May 20 and charged with criminal damage and five counts of harassment, including the violation of the restraining order.
The defendant, who does not have a fixed address, was sentenced to 56 weeks in prison and ordered to pay £250 in compensation after admitting to the charges at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court on Friday, May 22.
The sentence also revoked a six-week suspended term previously imposed for theft offences in April.
