Cambridge Stalker Jailed For Breaking Restraining Order

Stalker banned from City for 15 years after harassing woman he started following on Instagram jailed after breaching restraining order.

A stalker who was banned from Cambridge for 15 years after harassing a woman he started following on Instagram has been jailed after breaching his restraining order.

Sakib Uddin, of Cable Street, East London, stalked the woman between 2 February and 29 September 2017.

The 21-year-old first messaged the woman in July 2016, calling her beautiful and asking for her phone number.

The woman refused to give it to him but he kept asking for it, and even threatened to come to Cambridge and "slap" her.

Uddin then visited the woman’s work place in Cambridge and gave her a gift, Cambridge Crown Court heard.

He continued messaging her on Instagram and coming to her work place on multiple occasions over the following month.

Uddin was reported to the police and was issued with a caution.

However he continued to threaten her and her family - threatening to kill her, come to her address or get others to go to her house. 

He also sent her photos of knives, the court was told.

The woman replied to some of these messages in a bid to diffuse the situation and told police that the messages caused her to feel scared and threatened.

These messages continued from 2 February until June (2018) when the victim contacted the police due to the concerns she had about the messages.

Uddin was arrested, interviewed and bailed.

However between August and September he continued to contact the woman, asking for his phones back from the police and money back from a cake he had paid her for in 2016.

At Cambridge Crown Court on 30 November, Uddin was handed a 28 week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months.

He was also ordered to complete 200 hours of unpaid work.

Uddin was given a restraining order for 15 years, with conditions not to go to Cambridge and not to contact the victim.

However, Uddin was back before the same court yesterday (21 January) after admitting breaching his restraining order and suspended sentence. He was handed 40 weeks in prison.
