A stalker who was fitted with a satellite tracker after following and harassing a woman for two years has been jailed for breaching his suspended sentence. Jeremy Inglis turned up drunk at one probation appointment then took a knife to another before pointing the weapon at himself and then his probation officer. A judge at Swansea Crown Court activated the previously-imposed sentence.
Inglis was given a suspended sentence and fitted with a GPS tracker to monitor his movements in June last year after being convicted of stalking. On that occasion the court heard how he had met his victim met through a shared interest in photography but when the woman became concerned about his behaviour and tried to distance herself from him he began an online campaign against her and started hanging around her place of work and following her in the streets.
The court heard how the woman would see Inglis while she was walking to Mumbles and that the sightings were "too many times for it to be a coincidence" and then a Christmas card from the defendant arrived at her house despite the fact she had never revealed her address to him prompting fears she had been followed home. The harassment lasted for two years.
