A Magistrate has sent a stern warning to stalkers after a spurned lover got jail for mailing manure and penis candy with the note "eat a bag of dicks" to a young Brisbane woman.
In sentencing Asperger's sufferer Blake Ian Lhotka, 24, to a month's jail, wholly suspended, Magistrate Rosemary Gilbert said he placed her wellbeing in "real jeopardy".
"That is the issue with stalking. You may not intend that there be actual harm," she said.
"But it is the continued contact, having to look over your shoulder, being concerned where you might make further attempts to contact, contacting friends, contacting relatives."
