'Volatile' stalker left GP living in fear in terrifying eight-month ordeal

Volatile Stalker Leaves Former GP in Fear During Eight-Month Ordeal

David Taylor, formerly of Tarbolton Crescent, Hale, began stalking his former GP in August last year after he was banned from her medical practice. His persistent and aggressive behavior lasted for eight months, deeply unsettling the victim.

Stalking Begins After Being Barred

Taylor, 56, was added to the practice’s barred list after his conduct toward the GP became threatening and alarming while on the premises. Despite the ban, he continued to seek contact through other means.

Attempts to Contact and Harassment Online

After being blocked, Taylor messaged the GP from another account, requesting that his medical records be transferred to a new doctor. As the victim grew more fearful, she repeatedly blocked him.

Taylor then posted inappropriate comments on the GP’s business Facebook page, increasing the victim’s distress.

Confrontation at Victim's Home

The situation escalated dramatically on March 26 of this year when Taylor appeared unannounced at the GP’s home in Knutsford, asking for a conversation.

"After her initial shock, she shut the door, called her husband and 999."

Knowing where the victim and her family lived left them in a state of fear, forcing her to change her lifestyle.

Summary

The harassment from David Taylor caused the victim significant fear and disruption, highlighting the severe impact stalking can have on lives.
