00:00I was very scared. From the first encounter he ended up turning up at the office that I worked
00:05in with flowers and a wedding ring and he actually planned to get engaged to me that day.
00:15I first met Jan when he applied for work. I was working within recruitment and he came in
00:20to apply for a truck driving job. The first encounter didn't necessarily ring alarm bells
00:27although it was strange. From the first encounter he was placed in work within around about 48
00:35hours I'd say it started to get a little bit strange, a little bit out of the ordinary.
00:40I was getting messages and I was getting a lot of calls. From there he ended up turning up at
00:46the office that I worked in and he was in a three-piece suit with flowers and a wedding ring
00:53and he actually planned to get engaged to me that day. I was very scared and I called the
00:59police straight away because I've never had any situation like that before and it was
01:05surreal. He was released from his first arrest and he was bailed to an address within a mile
01:11from my house and originally he did live in Peterborough so that escalated it very quickly
01:19and then from that I was kind of bombarded every single day relentlessly. On a day-to-day basis I
01:25was receiving messages throughout the night. I was getting messages at two, three o'clock in the
01:29morning, videos being sent to me. He would sit and talk for every 20 minutes of time telling me
01:37how we need to start making preparations for a baby, how he can't stop thinking about me,
01:42he's crying because he's thinking about me. I was getting messages while he was working,
01:48it was constant. It gave me a lot of anxiety and it made me very nervous around people
01:53which was really sad because most of my job is surrounding working with people
01:58so it definitely affected me. He went on for quite some time, the police would arrest him,
02:05bail him and he would break the conditions of his bail. He would then go to prison. When he comes out
02:10of prison he contacted me within two hours of being released from prison. On another occasion
02:14he was sitting around five minutes away from my house waiting for me on a dark morning at 7am
02:21to go to work so he just didn't stop. He stayed in hotels close to my house and he kept entering
02:28Leicestershire. The outcome now is that he's been given two and a half years sentence
02:43and that happened on the 2nd of February. He will be released within I think the next six to eight
02:49months. Hopefully at that point the message has sunk in and it doesn't happen again however I
02:56have still been receiving messages from one of his friends in the Czech Republic. Initially it
03:03made me nervous, now I just don't do things. Now I'm very much of the mindset that if I go out there
03:10may be the chance I could stumble across another person like that and it would give me hell and I
03:16just don't want to be out in a position to do that again. It's made me very closed off to
03:22meeting new people and I just kind of stick with the safe routes and the safe zones I suppose.
