Man jailed for repeatedly breaching restraining order
44-year-old Curtis Saunderson was sentenced at Cambridge Magistrates Court on Friday.
A man has been jailed for repeatedly breaching a restraining order.
44-year-old Curtis Saunderson was given the restraining order in December of last year. It banned him from contacting his ex-girlfriend and visiting Peterborough home until May 2027.
However, between 21st April and 19th May, he breached the order by making multiple attempts to contact the victim by phone and turned up at her house on different occasions.
On one of these visits, Saunderson was caught on a video doorbell breaking the victim’s front windows with a concrete tile.
He was arrested in Bretton on the 20th of May and charged with criminal damage and five counts of harassment – breach of restraining order.
Saunderson, of no fixed address, was jailed for 56 weeks after admitting the offences at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court on Friday the 22nd of May. He was also ordered to pay £250 in compensation.
The sentencing included the activation of a six-week suspended sentence he received for theft offences in April.
Detective Sergeant Louis Scott said: “Saunderson’s relentless attempts to contact the victim showed his disregard for the previous court orders.
“I would like thank the victim for her ongoing cooperation and bravery for reporting this harassment.”
