A Drefach Felindre man will be sentenced next month after admitting stalking a woman by following her, going to her home and sending her abusive letters.

Dylan Phillips, of Llys Helyg, appeared before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 18 March.

The 66-year-old pleaded guilty to a charge of stalking involving serious alarm or distress between 11 June and 26 August last year by following a woman, attending her home address and sending her abusive letters.

The court heard the stalking had a “substantial adverse effect” on the victim’s usual day-to-day activities.

Magistrates adjourned the case for an all options pre-sentence report to be prepared.

Phillips is due to be sentenced at Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 8 April.

He was remanded on conditional bail.
