Stalker Sentenced

Willesden Magistrates Court

A stalker, who continually pestered a woman with emails; letters and via instagram, was sentenced earlier this year.

Henry Reeve, 28, of Goddards Close, Sherfield-on-Loddon, Hook, Hampshire admitted the offence.

At north-west London's Willesden Magistrates Court he pleaded guilty to stalking the woman between September 12 and October 26, last year.

The offence was said to have caused the victim serious alarm or distress and had a substantial adverse effect on her day-to-day activities.

The first-time offender also made contact via the woman's work colleagues and her mother.

Reeve was sentenced to sixteen weeks imprisonment, suspended for eighteen months and must complete up to fifteen days of a Probation Service-ordered rehabilitation activity requirement.

He was also made subject to a five-year restraining order and ordered to pay a £128 fine, plus £85 costs.
