A Llanybydder man has been fined by magistrates after being found guilty of stalking following a trial.

Roman Albiniak, now of no fixed abode, appeared for trial before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 31 March.

The 45-year-old had pleaded not guilty at an earlier hearing to stalking a woman by sending her an “excessive amount of messages” and following her in Llanybydder between 1 December 2025 and 22 January this year.

Albiniak was found guilty of the charge following the trial.

Albiniak was fined £180 by magistrates and made the subject of a 12 month restraining order.

He must also pay costs to the Crown Prosecution Service of £200 as well as a surcharge to fund victim services of £72.
