Notorious Portsmouth Stalker Back Behind Bars

Portsmouth feels safer tonight after Paul Nelson, the infamous stalker from Western Parade, Southsea, was hauled back to prison. We can exclusively reveal Nelson, once jailed by Portsmouth Crown Court, was freed halfway through his 21-month sentence from Exeter Prison on strict conditions.

Nelson Breaks Bail, Puts Victim in Fear Again

The twisted predator returned to Portsmouth in early March, targeting his victim once more. Despite showing zero remorse, Nelson’s attempt to snag a home detention tag was flatly refused due to his high risk of reoffending.

Breaching Lifelong Restraining Order Lands Nelson Back in Jail

Less than two months after walking free, Nelson broke the rules. He violated a lifetime restraining order banning him from contacting the woman and entering key Southsea areas, including Palmerston Road and parts of Clarendon Road.

The victim’s friends spotted Nelson lurking and tipped off police. He was swiftly rearrested and now faces fresh charges for breaching the order. Nelson must serve out the rest of his sentence behind bars.
