A 21-year-old man has been jailed for stalking a woman in Calne.
Owen Fripp sent his victim in excess of 300 abusive or sexually explicit emails and attended her address uninvited six days in a row.
The offending, which took place between 31 May and 27 June, left the woman struggling with her mental health.
At Salisbury Magistrates Court on Monday (11 September), Fripp, of Hercules Road, Calne, was given a 26-week prison sentence.
“I constantly worry and stress and often think about the words Owen used to say to me threatening my life and often find myself checking doors and windows to make sure that they are locked”, his victim said.
Adding: “I have invested in extra CCTV to give me peace of mind.
“I feel on edge all the time and feel as if I’m crippled with anxiety, my health is suffering and whilst out in a public place I have fainted and hit my head.”
A restraining order was also imposed for two years – prohibiting the defendant from contact with the woman or attending London Road.
Local Crime Investigator at Wiltshire Police Tamara Barnett said: “I’d like to thank Fripp’s victim who showed great courage at reporting his behaviour.
“If you, or someone you know, has been a victim of stalking or harassment we would urge you to tell us about it.
“We understand it can be difficult. Our officers and partner organisations are here to listen and work together to support you in any way we can.
“Your information could help us bring the offender to justice and make sure you, and other people in a similar situation, are kept safe.”
