A Fife schoolboy became the obsession of another pupil, who then went on to stalk him for more than five years.
James McCallum would often loiter outside the boy’s house and put his entire family through a frightening ordeal.
McCallum, now 20, was a pupil in Dunfermline when his obsessive behaviour began.
Depute fiscal Claire Bremner said the victim made it clear to McCallum he wanted nothing to do with him but the stalking went on.
At the city’s sheriff court, McCallum – currently in Polmont – admitted engaging in a course of conduct between January 1, 2012 and March 2, 2017, causing his victim fear and alarm.
Sheriff Charles MacNair jailed him for eleven months and imposed a 20-year non-harassment order prohibiting him from contact with his victim and banning him from entering Dunfermline.
