NI Stalking law explained as Coronation Street storyline prompts queries

Coronation Street has addressed stalking behaviour and the impact it can have on victims in a recent storyline addressing the topic.

The storyline has followed character Daisy Midgeley as she struggles to cope with Justin’s obsessive and relentless behaviour towards her following a chance meeting in a hospital.

Justin’s behaviour towards Daisy ranges from bombarding her with unwanted attention, gifts and texts as well as cyberstalking her to know where she will be constantly. Viewers have watched as Daisy reached crisis point as a result of this behaviour, her confidence crumbling and she desperately tries to seek help through the justice system.
