High-Risk Serial Sex Offender Jailed for Stalking Medical Student
A high-risk serial sex offender is behind bars today after he stalked an Aberdeen medical student by sending her sinister messages about Satan and claiming she was his wife.
Jon Coltart, 39, had never met his victim but sent unwanted messages to her for nine months. He even claimed on Facebook that they were in a sexual relationship.
Coltart's relentless harassment left the young woman terrified and deeply distressed. The court heard how he bombarded her with disturbing messages, including references to Satan and his desire to possess her.
During the trial, prosecutors described Coltart as a "dangerous and predatory individual" who poses a significant risk to women. The judge sentenced him to a lengthy prison term, emphasizing the need to protect the public from his dangerous behavior.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of stalking and the importance of seeking help if you are a victim. If you or someone you know is experiencing stalking, please contact the authorities or reach out to a trusted organization for support.
