STALKER ACCUSED BACK IN COURT FOR ORDER BREACH
A stalker was in the dock for a second breach of a temporary court order banning him from contacting his former careers coach.Prosecutors claim he bombarded his former coach with 113 text messages over 12 hours last month.
Wiltshire Police applied to Swindon magistrates for a stalking protection order banning Hendry from contacting his former coach, her colleagues, and going to the multi-storey car park opposite her workplace.
He opposed the application but officers were given an interim order ahead of a trial hearing on April 17.
Hendry last week admitted breaching the interim order just one day after it was made.
He was arrested on Valentine’s Day.
Magistrates fined him £80 and released him with a stern warning not to contact his former coach.
But a week later he was back in the dock, where he admitted a second breach.
Prosecutor Michelle Hewitt said Hendry had called the woman’s place of work, which he is banned from doing, and said he wanted to harm himself.
He was later found by police on the top of a multi-storey car park in central Swindon.
Hendry did not want to minimise his actions and knew the order was in place stopping him from contacting the firm.
In a direct appeal to the court, Hendry told magistrates: “I want to say sorry for the second time.” On a previous occasion, he had asked if he should give the woman the order was intended to protect “space”.
Hendry was remanded in custody until a bail hearing on February 28.
