Serial stalker filmed following woman to work in campaign of harassment

A serial stalker who engaged in a campaign of harassment against seven women was filmed on CCTV following one of his victims as she walked to work.

David Brudenell, 40, of Flamstead Road, Ilkeston, Derbyshire, used a fake Facebook profile to send a woman sexually explicit messages which he had superimposed her face on to and voice messages.

He sent the woman a picture he took of her showing the clothing she wore that day.

The victim reported the matter and police traced the account to Brudenell, who was seen on CCTV following her in Ilkeston.

Brudenell sent sexually explicit messages, with some containing pornographic images, to six other women.

He also left a voicemail threatening to rape a woman.

Brudenell was jailed for four years and four months after admitting stalking involving serious alarm distress, harassment and sending an electronic communication that conveyed a message which was indecent or grossly offensive.
