Woman jailed after stalking conviction

A woman has been jailed after repeatedly breaking a restraining order.

Kaddy Saidy, 51, was handed the restraining order on 30 May, 2023, after stalking a man who had helped her with translations.

The order banned her from going to his home or place of work. However, on 12, 15 and 16 July, 2023, she went to both.

She was arrested and in interview claimed she had gone to speak to him about their upcoming “wedding” and that she had sorted everything.

Saidy, of All Saints Road, Peterborough, pleaded guilty to stalking and three counts of breaching a restraining order and on Monday (3 June) was sentenced to eight weeks in prison at Cambridge Crown Court.

PC Jordan Pleyer, who investigated, said: “No one should live in fear, especially in their own home. Stalking can be terrifying and can escalate quickly.

“We would encourage anyone who fears they may be being stalked or harassed to get in touch. We’re here for victims 24/7 and will support them, as well as doing all we can to bring offenders to justice for the greater good.”
