A twisted stalker who subjected his victim to a campaign of terror, culminating in a horrifying mountain road attack where he tried to ram her off the road, has finally been brought to justice.
Christopher Jones, 42, became obsessed with the woman after a brief encounter, launching a vile campaign of harassment that left his victim fearing for her life. The court heard how his fixation escalated into a terrifying real-world pursuit.
The Mountain Road Ordeal
The most chilling incident occurred when Jones followed the woman as she drove along a treacherous mountain road. In a deliberate act of aggression, he repeatedly attempted to force her vehicle off the cliff-edge road, demonstrating a complete disregard for her safety.
After his arrest, Jones made a shocking confession to police, stating: "I was following her. I was afraid I was going to kill her. I thought if I hit her, I would kill her." This admission laid bare the extreme danger he posed.
A Sustained Campaign of Fear
His reign of terror was not isolated to the mountain road incident. The court was told how Jones also:
- Engaged in persistent unwanted contact and messaging
- Followed the victim on numerous occasions, invading her personal space
- Created an atmosphere of constant fear and intimidation
The emotional impact on the victim has been profound and lasting, with the psychological scars of the stalking campaign likely to persist long after the sentencing.
Jones was sentenced at Swansea Crown Court, where the judge recognised the severity of his actions and the imminent threat he presented to the victim's safety. This case highlights the very real dangers of stalking and the importance of robust legal protection for victims.
