Producer Stalked Actress After Split

Film producer Kevin Proctor has been penalized for a stalking campaign waged against his former girlfriend, actress Nicola Holt, after she ended their relationship. Proctor hired private investigators to place a tracker on her new partner's vehicle, an act that left Ms. Holt feeling intensely paranoid and fearful for her safety. She has since taken measures to enhance her home security.

Proctor admitted to stalking Ms. Holt, leading to a £300 fine, a surcharge, and legal costs. He was also subjected to a restraining order prohibiting any contact with the actress. His defense highlighted a psychiatrist's report suggesting his autism may have affected his judgment, contributing to his actions.

The court heard that Ms. Holt discovered the tracker on her partner's car. The actress expressed profound distress in a victim statement, detailing her constant anxiety and fear of the producer. Proctor, who was previously of good character, has reportedly lost his film industry livelihood and is now working in a factory while facing financial difficulties.
