A man has been jailed after breaching a stalking protection order five times between January 23 and July 29.

Charles Richie, aged 41, of no fixed abode, was sentenced for seven months in prison at Milton Keynes Magistrates Court on Wednesday 30th July.

Richie pleaded guilty to five counts of breaching a stalking protection order and one count of harassment - breach of a restraining order on conviction.

He was given a stalking protection order at the same court on April 29 and a restraining order at Aylesbury Crown Court in January.

On June 18 Richie also made contact with a woman in her thirties via Tinder which he was banned from doing due to a restraining order.

Richie was arrested on July 29 and charged the next day.

Investigating officer PC Mark Ashby, based at Milton Keynes police station, said: “I am pleased with the sentence Charles Ritchie has been given, who has repeatedly disregarded the court orders placed on him.

“Stalking has a serious effect on victims and will not be tolerated.

“We would encourage anybody suffering from persistent and unwanted contact from anyone to please report this to the police and we will investigate and seek to bring offenders to justice.

“You can report offences via our website or by calling us on 101. We have experienced officers and staff who will listen to and support victims.”
