Man guilty of stalking woman with whom he had relationship

A married Mormon mother-of-12 told a court she was stalked by her husband’s friend – after having a secret affair with him for years.

Shaun Fair was found guilty of stalking Jennifer Petrie after she admitted under cross-examination that she had been cheating on her husband with him.

A jury found Fair guilty of engaging in a course of conduct which caused fear or alarm to Mrs Petrie by driving past her home, her work and her children’s school. He also hid behind cars, approached her and entered her vehicle.

Jennifer Petrie, 41, told the jury that she was “very, very frightened” of Fair as he was “unpredictable”.

Fair, 46, of Morrison Terrace, Blairgowrie, was found guilty of stalking in various parts of Perthshire between 1 January and 2 May last year. Sentence was deferred for reports.
