Newark Advertiser-area magistrates' court listings feature stalker who received suspended prison sentence

Luke Chadbourne, 32, consistently called and texted a woman demanding to know where she was and, when she didn’t tell him, tried to track her down at her house in Bingham and at the homes or her friends and family.

He also used the drop-in facility on her Alexa, an option to open an instant conversation between devices or with Alexa contacts at her property, and text and called her continuously.

Chadbourne admitted harassment, which Nottingham magistrates said amounted to stalking.

He also admitted sending a text message via his sister that was intended to intimidate the woman, knowing that she, the victim, was a witness in proceedings against him.

Magistrates sentenced Chabourne, of Jumelles Drive, Calverton, to 12 weeks, suspended for 12 months.

A restraining order was also imposed.
