A Pontypool man who admitted stalking a woman in Cwmbran has been ordered to carry out unpaid work and barred under a restraining order for the next five years.
Adam Hughes, 35, was dealt with at Newport Magistrates’ Court after pleading guilty to stalking.
The offence
Magistrates were told the offence took place in Cwmbran between 28 August and 6 October 2026.
During that period, Hughes repeatedly phoned the woman and showed up at the address where her mother lives.
The sentence
Hughes, of Hillside Drive in Cwmfields, was given a 12-month community order. It requires him to complete 180 hours of unpaid work, overseen by the probation service.
He was also told to pay:
- £85 towards the cost of the prosecution
- a £114 victim surcharge
That comes to £199 in total.
Restraining order
On top of the community order, the court made Hughes the subject of a restraining order, which will stay in force for five years.
