A stalker from Trowbridge who left a woman in ‘constant fear’ in prison

A man has been jailed for six weeks after he stalked a woman and left her with a “constant sense of fear and uncertainty”.

Peter Milner, of Kenton Drive in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, pleaded guilty to bombarding his victim with messages. He also saved photos from her social media onto his own devices between September and November last year.

After the woman blocked him, he began contacting his friends and even filed a false police report about her, claiming she was being held hostage. His intrusive behavior continued into March, police said.

The 51-year-old “obsessive” was also given a seven-year restraining order and was sentenced at Bristol Crown Court on Wednesday.
