Creepy handyman secretly bugged ex-lover's car to see if she was seeing other men
A woman was stalked by her former lover who installed a tracking device in her car after she broke off their short relationship. Kelvin James, 58, of Church Drive in Orrell had placed the tracker inside the woman's Renault Megane to see if she was meeting up with other men.
She later said she was so distressed at being followed she suffered hair loss due to alopecia. At Wigan and Leigh Magistrates Court James admitted to stalking and was ordered to wear an electronic tag to monitor his own movements under the terms of a 12 week curfew order from 7pm-7am. “During this period they formed a relationship which developed into a romantic involvement, albeit for a short time. It lasted from about late 2020 to early 2021.
"James proceeded to send her a barrage of texts berating her and asking her who she had seen and where she had been. “When the pair met up again ostensibly for James’ mental health, he started telling her that he had seen her with other men and that he knew everywhere she had been over the past few days. When she asked him how he knew, he claimed that he had just driven past by chance and seen her with another gentleman.
Mr Woodman also told the court of the victim's recent alopecia, which she believes came about due to the stress caused by the ordeal. At a previous hearing she was allowed to attend court wearing a hat. The victim gave a statement but it was read in private.
