Despite a ban on contact

48 messages in one day: “That’s stalking!”

The ex insulted and abused her: Her ex-partner (40) receives a fine and suspended sentence at St. Pölten Provincial Court after persistent stalking. 

A total of 48 messages in a very short time in one day, ten phone calls within a few minutes - despite an upright ban on contact and previous convictions for dangerous threats and coercion! According to his own statements, a mixture of helplessness, offended pride and overflowing emotions drove a 40-year-old to do this. Now he had to stand trial for persistent persecution.

Contact only by email
"It was stupid of me, but I was emotionally at the end of my tether because of my daughter," the man from Mostviertel confessed. For months, the mother of his child had to put up with vile abuse. "You do know that this is stalking?" Mrs. Rat wants to know. "My ex isn't squeamish, she's tough", explains the defendant. He got carried away and has since deleted her number. Since then, arrangements regarding the child have been made via his mother or by email.

"I'm afraid to go out on the street," said the ex in court. Since she has had a new boyfriend, her ex has been unpredictable. The 35-year-old suffers from severe dizzy spells and sleep disorders. In addition to a fine, the 40-year-old has now been sentenced to six months' conditional imprisonment with probation for persistent stalking.
