Stalker victim: β€˜He had a tattoo of my name on his chest’

The Police need to concentrate more resources into dealing with stalking - that's according to leading Stalking Charities, who have told 5live Breakfast that something is going wrong with the way the criminal justice system deals with the issue.

Chloe Hopkins has been a victim of stalking: β€œAt first I didn’t think anything of it, when you are you g and naΓ―ve you don’t think β€˜this isn’t right.’ When it became a regular thing, I thought – this is a bit weird.”

A spokesperson for the Crown Prosecution Service said: "We are committed to tackling stalking and harassment cases and in 2015 there were 12,986 prosecutions - a rise of 7 per cent on the previous year.”

Chloe encountered strange behaviour from the man stalking her: β€œHe came over, lifted up his T-shirt and there was a tattoo with my name on it. What do you say to someone that does that?”
