He was sentenced to 14 months in prison and made the subject of a restraining order until October 2026, which bans him from contacting his victim.
Sergeant Tom Bailey, of Kettering Response teams, oversaw the case as it came to court.
Speaking afterwards he said: “I’m really pleased with this result, and that Grieveson finally accepted the harm he caused by his repeated actions in following and harassing his victim, leaving her in fear about simply trying to live her life as normal.

“I’d like to thank the initial investigating officer in this case, PC Jarrod Staughton, who did an amazing job in capturing all the evidence required to bring Grieveson to justice and save his victim the further trauma of giving evidence in court.”
Grieveson must also pay a surcharge to fund victim services of £156.
