A MAN with a “flagrant disregard for court orders” has been jailed after he walked his victim from the pub to a taxi.
Christopher Stainton, of Birch Road, Cleator Moor, admitted breaching a non-molestation order, when he appeared at Workington Magistrates’ Court.
The 58-year-old met the victim in the Apple Tree pub and walked to a taxi on Murray Road in Workington, which he was prohibited from doing by the order.
The offence took place on Friday, June 3.
Stainton was sentenced to 20 weeks in prison. Magistrates gave his “flagrant disregard for court orders”, as reason for custody, along with it being “a deliberate breach” while on licence for a similar offence.
He must pay a £128 victim surcharge on his release from prison.
