A man who stalked a woman within a three-month period could be sentenced for the offence in Magistrates’ Court next year.

Ryan Kirby, 29, admitted stalking the woman when he appeared in court yesterday.

Kirby, from Southampton, committed the offence, which he initially denied, between June 30 and October 12, 2025.

Magistrate Craig Attridge ordered a social inquiry report be written for Kirby and extended his bail until January 15, when he could be sentenced for the offence.
