A STALKER turned up uninvited to a woman’s garden and shouted through her letterbox.

Karim Ahmed harassed the woman, who The Argus is choosing not to name, in Brighton.

This included sending emails to her family and friends, and emailing her YouTube videos with songs attached.

The 55-year-old even sent work he needed printing to her printer.

At Brighton Magistrates’ Court, he was given a four-year Stalking Protection Order.

It bans Ahmed from any direct or indirect contact with the woman.

Ahmed, formerly of Fairlight Place, Brighton, is banned from attending the woman’s address or going to a beach hut she uses.

He was told not to carry out any surveillance of the woman, not to go to her workplace, and to only keep devices such as a computer, email address or phone in his own name.

The order also restricts him to one profile per social media account, which must also be in his own name.

NOTE: Mr Ahmed has asked us to emphasise that he was not convicted of an offence of stalking under the Protection from Harrassment Act 1997. A stalking prevention order requires only that the defendant has carried out acts associated with stalking.
