Horsham Stalking Man Jailed

A Sussex man who stalked and harassed his ex-partner is now starting an 18-month prison sentence following the recent introduction of a law that makes stalking an explicit offence.

28-year old Kevin Rainbow appeared for sentencing at Lewes Crown Court on Friday 4 April, having previously pleaded guilty to stalking, harassment, criminal damage and common assault.

The amendment to the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 makes stalking involving fear of violence or serious harm or distress a specific offence and was used in the prosecution.
