Simon Parry, of no fixed abode, is said to have ‘persistently followed’ the Conservative MP on May 24 and June 14 this year.
Former education secretary Sir Gavin Williamson said he felt “incredibly threatened” by a man who allegedly followed him on two occasions, threatening to arrest the MP during one of the incidents, a court has heard.
Of the May incident, Sir Gavin told the court he heard Parry making comments about vaccinations while walking in “close proximity” to him. “You felt as if this was part of intimidation or sort of trying to make a publicity work or something along those lines.” He continued: “Why should I, you know, not do what I thought was my job because this very aggressive person was harassing me and pursuing me?”
