Public Prosecutor David Burns said: “This is a matter of stalking. At the time, they were both employed by London Zoo.

“He became very interested in her. He started texting her. She couldn't understand how he got hold of her number.
“She said she didn't respond to the messages. He asked her why she had not responded. She said she was not interested and she could please stay alone. The messages went on.
“She also states that he started to follow her around the workplace. She states that he became more and more persistent. He tried to start a conversation with her.
“She also says that his behavior felt her scared and upset. She said he accepts no boundaries and refuses to listen to her desire to be left alone. '
