Following this meeting, he would send her numerous texts and emails, turn up at her house at all hours of the day and night and bombard her with messages and friend requests on social media.

Freezer would wait at the end of her street, watch her house and follow her. He also started to drive to her workplace and would appear when she started and finished work. He also sent her numerous unwanted gifts over the course of several months.

Freezer was arrested and charged for stalking offences and was convicted on Wednesday, April 25, for stalking offences.

Detective Sergeant Terry Rush from the Domestic Abuse Prevention & Investigation Team said: “Stalking is a serious offence and something that can have a huge impact on people. Victims of stalking often feel isolated, paranoid and constantly in fear of where their stalker is and whether they’re nearby.
