Brighton Stalker Jailed

A Brighton man who stalked his ex-partner for three months has received a jail sentence.

Samuel Delgado Cuero, 47, of Ticehurst Road stalked his ex wife between April and June, threatening her, turning up at her home in Hove and monitoring her online activity.

He even hacked into her iphone cloud, threatening to put intimate pictures of her on the internet.

However following a police investigation he was arrested and charged and, despite pleading not guilty at his trial at Brighton Magistrates Court on 29 June he was convicted and sent to prison for 26 weeks.

The Court also issued Delgado Cuero with a Restraining Order to last five years, prohibiting him from contacting the woman, from entering the road where she lives in Hove, and from making public any pictures of her.

Investigator Emily Farley of Brighton CID said:

“Delgado Cuero could not accept that the relationship was over. He selfishly and arrogantly assumed that his wife should do whatever he wanted and his conduct caused her great distress.

“We will always follow up reports of this distressing type of behaviour, to the protect victims and to seek justice for them wherever possible.

"My colleague Aimee Gorman carried out so much of the work in this case and we are both glad that the victim now has some closure.”
