A MAN is to go on trial accused of harassment after 'staring' at a woman on a number of occasions. 

Kai Robert Taylor, whose address was given as Doctor Roberts Close in Bridport, appeared before Poole Magistrates' Court where he pleaded not guilty to one count of harassment.

The court was told Taylor, 31, also goes by the names of Jane Doe Seven Five Five and John-Doe Five Hundred.

The charge relates to an alleged course of conduct between June 14 and June 16 of last year when it is said Taylor attended numerous locations in Bridport where he knew the complainant would be in attendance and that he stared at her in order to cause distress.

Taylor was placed on conditional bail with a direction not to contact the complainant. The case has been adjourned for trial to be heard at Weymouth Magistrates' Court on Friday, April 21.
