Derry Court: Man charged with stalking and harassment released on bail

A man has appeared at Derry Magistrate's Court today charged with stalking and harassment charges.

Conor Lees (25) of Gelvin Grange in Derry was brought to court after breaching his police bail.

He is charged with stalking a female aggravated by domestic abuse on dates between March 14 and May 5 this year.

He was also charged with harrassment over the same period and also with engaging in a course of conduct that could be deemed abusive behaviour.

A police officer connected the accused to the charges.

Defence solicitor Paddy MacDermott said that police were agreeable to Lees being released on bail subject to conditions.

A police officer told the court that Lees had been given a 28 day charge with conditions he was not to go within 50 metres of the alleged injured party.

The officer said that the woman had been in a bar and Lees had entered the premises. 

The defendant was released on bail on condition he does not enter licensed premises, does not go within 100 metres of the woman's home or work, does not enter the Galliagh area and observe a curfew.

He will appear again on June 21.
