Man faces jail if he talks to women
Published: 2013 February 10 19:49:21 (6007 Views)
David Delahunty, 56, from Cumbria, UK has been banned from talking to women he does not know.
He had walked up to a stranger at a bus stop, kissed her on the cheek and told her she was a “bonny lass” and then made lewd suggestions and falsely claiming he was a defiler who had just been freed from prison.
The victim, in her 20s, was left feeling “disgusted and frightened”, the judge was told.
Delahunty was given a nine-month suspended jail term and 120 hours’ community work.
The order bans him from speaking to any woman he does not know in a public place for the next ten years, except in an emergency. He faces up to five years in jail if he breaches the terms.
Delahunty had been drinking heavily before the incident, Carlisle Crown Court was told. Judge Paul Batty called it “a disgraceful episode”.
Delahunty’s lawyer Keith Thomas said: “He grew up in a big family where such banter was commonplace.
He realises this has to cease and he should not talk to any woman he does not know.”
