Corby stalker made subject of court order to protect his female victim
Magistrates have told a Corby man he cannot mention his female stalking victim on social media as part of a court order designed to curtail his behaviour.
Daniel Christie, of Lincoln Way, Corby, had objected to the making of a stalking protection order (SPO) by Northampton Magistrates’ Court.
But magistrates went ahead and imposed the order, after hearing of the impact of his unwanted behaviour on a female victim.
SROs are civil orders that are made where magistrates are satisfied that, on the balance of probability, a defendant has carried out illegal acts and that there is an ongoing risk of harm that necessitates the imposition of a court order.
The court found that Christie, 38, stalked the woman for six months in 2025, including going to her address, sending her unwanted emails, phoning her and sending her intimate videos.
The court imposed a two year stalking protection order that bans Christie from going to the woman’s address, from contacting her, from making any direct or indirect reference to her on social media, or entering the street in which she lives.
Christie, who has a long criminal history that includes assault, driving offences, drug driving, criminal damage and drug possession, will also have to pay the £210 costs of Northamptonshire Police, the body that applied for the order.
Breaches of SROs amount to a criminal offence.
