Wrexham man spared jail after admitting stalking offence.
A STALKER who bombarded a woman with unwanted calls, messages and “sinister” letters has been spared jail.
Lee Roberts, of Deva Way in Wrexham, appeared at Mold Crown Court on Monday for sentence.
The 33-year-old had been convicted of an offence of stalking at a previous hearing.
Roberts’ offending, committed against a woman named Amy Darlington, took place in Wrexham over a roughly two-week period between the end of January and the beginning of February this year.
His “worrying” behaviour saw him calling the victim repeatedly – on one of the days amounting to 28 calls within 24 hours.
He also visited “everywhere she could possibly be,” including her home, her work and her parents’ home.
Additionally, Roberts delivered letters to Ms Darlington which became “more and more sinister” in nature.
Being spoken to police and placed on bail conditions didn’t deter him either, as he breached the conditions.
Brett Williamson, defending, told the court is client had been given an opportunity to speak with the Probation Service to explore community-based sentencing options.
