A judge said defendant Simon Parry thought there was 'humour' to what he was doing, but in fact it 'amounted to harassment'.
A man has been found guilty of stalking former education secretary Sir Gavin Williamson. The Conservative MP said he felt 'incredibly threatened' by Simon Parry who 'persistently followed' him on 24 May and 14 June. Parry, 45, of no fixed abode, was convicted of one count of stalking. He had also denied impersonating a police officer by flashing what Sir Gavin said appeared to be a warrant card and making comments about arresting him on the June date.
He uploads it onto social media. 'Objectively he ought to have known the course of conduct amounted to harassment. I am sure of that.' Parry denied intending to harass, distress, humiliate or intimidate the politician over the two dates when he gave evidence on Wednesday. He appeared at court with Piers Corbyn, the brother of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Parry will be sentenced at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 16 November.
