A Hackett man who used a tracker to stalk his former partner has tried to justify his actions by saying he was trying to get back the car he had given to the woman.
The 44-year-old, who is not being named in order to protect the victim's identity, appeared in the ACT Magistrates Court on Friday after pleading guilty to stalking and contravening a family violence order.
Facts tendered in court state the man had purchased a Holden Cruz sedan, which was exclusively driven by his then-partner, in May 2021.
