Man jailed for breaching stalking protection order

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 23 Oct, 16:28 · Archive

Aaron Jackson was jailed for breaching a stalking protection order by sending over 100 messages and photographing visitors to a woman's flat.

Aaron Jackson, aged 34, was jailed after admitting to breaching a stalking protection order imposed on him in September. The court heard that between 3 and 20 September, Jackson sent over 100 messages to a woman and placed her property under surveillance by taking photographs of people entering and leaving her flat.

Prosecutor Lee Dacre told South Cumbria Magistrates' Court that Jackson had become 'emotionally involved' with the woman following a brief professional relationship. Mr Dacre said Jackson wanted to 'help protect or save her in some way'. The woman had never made a complaint to the police, the court was told.

Jackson's offending came to light when he was asked to hand over his mobile phone for inspection. The stalking protection order, issued on 3 September, prohibited him from contacting the woman, conducting surveillance on her home, and entering an exclusion zone on the path of a Co-op on Island Road in Barrow. Jackson breached this by sitting on a wall ledge in the exclusion zone for 10 minutes at 3:40pm on 13 September.

Jackson, of Buxton Street, Barrow, was sentenced remotely from HMP Preston on 19 October after pleading guilty to harassment without violence and three counts of breaching the stalking protection order. The order remains in effect until 18 December.
