Paddy Leonard, 24 May
A man has appeared at Derry Magistrate's Court today charged with
stalking and harassment charges.
Conor Lees (25) of Gelvin Grange in Derry was brought to court after
breaching his police bail.
He is charged with stalking a female aggravated by domestic abuse on
dates between March 14 and May 5 this year.
He was also charged with harrassment over the same period and also with
engaging in a course of conduct that could be deemed abusive behaviour.
A police officer connected the accused to the charges.
Defence solicitor Paddy MacDermott said that police were agreeable to
Lees being released on bail subject to conditions.
A police officer told the court that Lees had been given a 28 day
charge with conditions he was not to go within 50 metres of the alleged
injured party.
The officer said that the woman had been in a bar and Lees had entered
the premises.
The defendant was released on bail on condition he does not enter
licensed premises, does not go within 100 metres of the woman's home or
work, does not enter the Galliagh area and observe a curfew.
He will appear again on June 21.
