Rhayader man who harassed ex through TV and ring doorbell camera is sentenced
A Powys man who harassed his ex-girlfriend by speaking to her through her ring doorbell camera and logging into her television to post obscene messages has been sentenced.
Over a month-long period in January, Jamie Hughes bombarded his ex-partner with emails, followed her around Llandrindod Wells and threatened to slash her car tyres.
Following their break-up, Hughes moved out of their home but he would access her doorbell via his phone and try and speak to her.
He accessed her television while she was in the house and posted obscene messages on the screen, leaving her fearing that she was being watched in her own home.
Hughes, 30 admitted a charge of harassment without violence when he appeared at Llandrindod Wells Magistrates Court previously.
Hughes, of Maes Y Brenin, was accused of sending inappropriate messages, sending unwanted and threatening emails and following his ex-partner between December 4, 2024 and January 29, 2025.
Prosecuting, Ms Skye Connors told the court Hughes was reported to the police for harassment after the relationship ended on January 4.
