A stalker restaurant boss created a Facebook account and filled it with pictures of his victim.
Dundee Sheriff Court heard married Mohammed Mohiuddin became obsessed with the woman and was repeatedly seen watching her outside her work and her home.
On various occasions he approached her and told her: “Whenever I see you, I and my restaurant will have a good day.”
Broughty Ferry man Mohiuddin — who runs the Maisha Indian restaurant in St Andrews — broke down in tears as the details of his crimes were read to the court.
Fiscal depute Mohamad Sadiq told the court: “A number of messages were received and the complainer noticed that a large number of photos of her on the Facebook profile. There were a large number of images of her and her family, a number of which were also on his phone.
“During the months preceding this the lady noticed that when she went to close the blinds at her home the accused’s Mercedes would be parked outside and he would appear to be looking at her through the windows.”
Mohiuddin, 48, of Blake Avenue, pleaded guilty to a charge of stalking committed between February 2012 and June 2014.
Grant Bruce, defending, said: “There was no harm intended to this lady.”
Sheriff Alistair Brown deferred sentence until next month for social work background reports. He also imposed a five-year non-harassment order.
