Crazy stalker! Man sent to prison for calling ex-girlfriend 21,807 times

by Jewel Stephen

A French man has been jailed after calling and texting his ex-girlfriend 21, 807 times over a 10-month period.

The 33-year-old man was handed a 10-month sentence and a £793 fine for calling his 32-year-old ex-girlfriend a average of 73 times per day.

The man had been reportedly admitted to hospital in the past for depression, and struggled to cope when his girlfriend broke off their relationship in 2011.

He supposedly made the calls to demand compensation for work he had carried out in their apartment.

He told the court, “At the time, my logic was that until she returns the money … or at least says thank you, I would not stop the calls. I tell myself, with hindsight, that it was stupid.”

Manuella Spee, lawyer for the woman, said, “She tried to block her line, but he phoned her parents instead and her workplace. It was only when she finally thanked him, during a meeting organised by a mediator, that the harassment stopped. He has not contacted her since.”

The ruling also stated that he goes for psychiatric treatment and he has been barred from contacting the woman again.
