A MAN is due to appear in court accused of stalking a woman he knew.

Officers have been investigating a number of incidents that happened in Gosport between May 15 and August 11.

Nathan Dempsey, 33, of Gazelle Close in Gosport, has been charged with stalking, and has been bailed with conditions to appear at Portsmouth Magistrates’ Court on December 21.

A police spokesperson said: "Tackling domestic abuse is a priority for us, and we encourage anyone who has been affected to contact police on 101.

"We know that not everyone who has been abused has the confidence to speak to police. If you visit our website, you will find a list of support services completely independent of the police who can help you if you’ve been affected by stalking or domestic abuse: https://www.hampshire.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/daa/domestic-abuse/support-organisations/"
