A stalker who harassed and threatened two of his ex-partners has been jailed.

Gruffydd Williams from Efailnewydd admitted damaging the home of a former girlfriend and threatening to post intimate photos of another ex-partner.

North Wales Police described his behaviour as "obsessive and fixated".

Caernarfon Crown Court heard Williams (44) began calling his first victim daily using a withheld phone number after she ended their relationship in January 2022.

He drove past her home and workplace regularly - at one point submitting a false complaint against her at work - and occasionally, drove behind her while flashing his headlights.

CCTV cameras installed at her home for safety caught Williams at her house while she was away with friends. She later got a phone call to tell her her windows had been damaged.

Williams was eventually arrested in November 2022 - a month after he was reported to police - but despite being told not to contact the victim, he breached those conditions by making further calls the following March.

The second victim was in a relationship with Williams that ended in 2017. But five years, Williams had contacted her and threatened to post intimate pictures of her online.

In court, Williams pleaded guilty to stalking and threatening to disclose private sexual photos without consent. He was sentenced to two years and three months and banned from contacting both his victims for 15 years under a restraining order.

After sentencing last Friday, Sergeant Bryn Pritchard of North Wales Police, said: "I commend both victims for their bravery in reporting Williams’ obsessive and fixated behaviour."

“Stalking is a serious crime that can escalate quickly and cause a victim to leave in fear of danger. I hope this sentencing allows both victims to move forward, knowing he is no longer a threat to their safety."

“We take reports of stalking extremely seriously and will support you throughout any investigation. If you are experiencing stalking, do not suffer alone, please report it.”
