Restraining order for Peel man convicted of harassment

Second time 47-year-old has been convicted in a decade

A Peel man convicted of harassing a second woman in a decade has been given his second restraining order.

Forty-seven-year-old Glenn Gillon, of North View, appeared at Douglas Courthouse.

He'd pleaded not guilty to harassment between 25 October and 15 February but changed his plea before the case went to trial.

Gillon and his victim had been in a relationship which ended in 2016.

In June last year police warned him about his harassment and the woman’s advocate warned him not to contact her last October.

However unemployed Gillon continued to phone her and sent text messages, and emails, with comments on her relationship status and appearance.

In a statement to the court the woman he targeted said she’d considered installing security cameras after his campaign left her living in fear.

After hearing he’d been jailed for harassing another woman in 2013 magistrates put him on probation for a year and ordered him to do 120 hours of community service.

He was also ordered to pay £250 towards prosecution costs and indefinitely banned from contacting the woman.
