A 30-year-old man appeared Monday before the correctional court of Albertville (Savoie) for acts of harassment towards his ex-partner.
In July, the complainant had denounced to the gendarmes repeated acts on the part of her former companion, whom she had left several months ago;

The respondent notably monitored her at her workplace and with friends, and sent her many messages and letters.
He even moved into accommodation just below the woman's home.
Four months suspended sentence
The man was banned from contacting his ex-girlfriend, but the harassment continued.
He was then summoned to court for an immediate appearance in early September, but he asked for time to prepare his defense.
During the hearing on Monday, he admitted his actions.
He was also on trial for violence committed against the complainant's new companion.
The defendant was given a four-month suspended prison sentence.
