Man given restraining order after stalking and showing sexual photos of ex to her boss and partner

A man intent on causing humiliation to his former partner by stalking and showing sexual images to her boss and boyfriend has been given a restraining order preventing him from contacting the victim or her partner. Jonathan Blacklock, 50, from Longframlington, Northumberland, had a brief relationship with the victim in 2020.

Over a two-month period Blacklock "undertook an appalling sequence of actions, which inflicted harm and humiliation" upon the victim, Newcastle Crown Court heard. He sprayed offensive graffiti, sent abusive texts, left horrible notes at her home, slashed her car tyres and dumped rubbish at the end of her drive.

Prosecutors said he showed intimate sexual photos to her boss and partner. Blacklock also slashed the tyres of 10 other vehicles that have nothing to do with him or his former partner, reports Chronicle Live.
