A 62-year-old man who travelled from South Africa to Suffolk and stalked his wife after they separated has been jailed for 17 months.
Christopher Arnold bombarded his wife with messages and emails and led her to believe he was in the UK and was staying nearby, Ipswich Crown Court heard.
The messages included him saying: “I’m very near you” and “I’ll be seeing you sooner than you think,” said Isobel Ascherson, prosecuting.
Abduction of a child, especially when you had a warning notice that you should not take that child away from her lawful parents, is a very serious matter.
She also made him subject to a sexual harm prevention order for 10 years and banned him from working with children under 16.
She accepted that the sexual activity between the pair had been a kiss which was observed by a witness.
Judge Bacon said that he was more than twice the age of the girl at the time of his offending.
Danielle O Donovan, for Murphy, said that he had mental health issues and other difficulties.
She suffers panic attacks and anxiety, particularly when she drives, and said her life “will never be the same again”.
His partner Laura McCarry also provided a statement stating they were “inseparable” but that their lives had been devastated.
She said being separated from Mr Hadley was unbearable and described having to sleep on a sofa as she cannot bear her partner not being in bed with her.
She added: “It’s heart-breaking to see the person you love go through something like this.”
Mateusz Przybylo, 30, had been driving a Renault box van when he failed to see Mr Hadley s car ahead of him, which was stopped and waiting to turn right.
