Hypnotherapist accused of stalking ex found not guilty
Perth Sheriff Court.
A man has been cleared of stalking his former partner for two months after the acrimonious breakdown of their relationship.
Hypnotherapist Michael Walsh – who was cleared last year of sexually assaulting patients – had been accused of causing Karen Steeple fear and alarm by staring at her.
She told Perth Sheriff Court that Walsh, 72, had repeatedly followed her and deliberately loitered outside a café he knew she frequented.
Walsh was alleged to have engaged in a course of conduct that caused Ms Steeple fear or alarm between January 20 and March 9.
