Nine women were left terrified and traumatised after being targeted with disturbing sexual slogans daubed on their cars and homes by a convicted pervert.
Jeffrey Burke used a permanent marker pen to write a series of obscene messages indicating he had been watching the victims and outlining in crude terms what he wanted to do to them. A court heard the victims were targeted in two areas of Gateshead over a two year period between January 2019 and December 2020.
Annelise Haugstad, prosectuing, told Newcastle Crown Court: "He has been daubing houses or vehicles with sexual words indicating what he would like to do to the householders. All of them were left in fear as a result. There is an element of watching as the physical descriptions daubed matched the housholders."
