A ‘DISGUSTING’ Rugby man who targeted lone women in the town centre has been jailed.
Christopher Stones, 34, of Bilton Road, was sentenced at Warwick Crown Court to 15 months in prison for four counts of breaching a court order not to approach lone women in the town centre.
In the early hours of Saturday June 1, Stones was seen by CCTV operators wandering around the town centre approaching women.
He hugged several, kissed one and attempted to kiss another but was pushed away.
That same evening, Stones entered a pub in Bank Street where he proceeded to hassle customers.
Police officers escorted Stones out of the pub, at which point he began shouting homophobic abuse and making inappropriate gestures towards a female officer.
In police interview, Stones repeatedly laughed when asked about his behaviour.
Prior to this offence, Stones was handed a Sexual Risk Order and Notification with conditions including not having contact with females under 18 years old and not making unsolicited sexual suggestions to lone females unknown to him.
PC Dominic Strange said: “Stones expressed absolutely no remorse in his interview and appeared to find the situation amusing.
“He now has 15 months behind bars to reflect on his disgusting behaviour.”
Sgt Josie Manzella added: “Thanks to the swift teamwork between patrol units, local CCTV operatives and the patrol investigations team, we were able to swiftly remove him from the streets.
“Hopefully you are never in the same situation of these women, but if you are or have any suspicions about someone’s behaviour please contact us.”
