A STALKER repeatedly followed a woman and demanded money from her in a Herefordshire town.

Christopher Fairley, 36, of Middlemarsh, Leominster, entered a guilty plea to one count of stalking when he appeared before magistrates in Hereford in July.

The court heard from prosecutor Paul John that Fairley had pursued a course of conduct which amounted to the stalking of a woman in Leominster between February 14 and June 6.

He was released on bail with a condition not to contact the victim directly or indirectly to allow for a pre-sentencing report to be carried out by the probation service.

He will appear before magistrates in Hereford for sentencing on August 15.
