Cork man who put tracking device on ex-girlfriend's car jailed for harassment

A woman who was being stalked by her ex-partner turning up at random locations around County Cork sent her car to a mechanic on the advice of gardaí and a tracking device was found attached to the exhaust pipe.

39-year-old Seán Fagan of Dunvale Crescent, Frankfield, Douglas, was sentenced to four years with the last two years suspended at Cork Circuit Criminal Court on Monday for harassment between September 26, 2021, and March 12, 2022. Judge Dermot Sheehan ordered the accused to have no contact directly or indirectly with his ex-girlfriend and not to go within 500 metres of her home or place of work for a period of 15 years.
