Crazed neighbor OINKS at overweight woman: Hate campaign lands man in court
FREE Catholic Classes
"A neighbor from hell," as one report describes Stephen Aylott, who was convicted for his four-year hate campaign where he mocked and provoked his neighbors over their weight. The 53-year-old man is said to be responsible for harassment on the community and allegedly caused one woman's hair to fall out over severe stress.

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - Although the court heard of his side of the story, where he explained that he suffered from a serious brain injury after a motorcycle accident in 1984, Aylott is believed to be fully aware of the consequences of the actions he carried out.
"This has caused stress to the point where my wife's hair has fallen out. I felt vulnerable and intimidated as we do not know what will happen next. Aylott's antics have caused us a lot of alarm, distress and irreversible damage," said Robert D'Angelo, during the victim statement before the court.
According to The Daily Mail, Aylott's disturbing erratic behavior towards his neighbors' weights include oinking like a pig and throwing slimming magazine articles at her.
While Aylott was defended because of the brain injury he had years ago, Imran Khan, from the defense, said the man knew of his actions.
"He knows the difference between right and wrong but he has a problem with his memory. I have spoken with him and showed him the victim statement. He knows he cannot do this any more, he accepts that he has caused harassment," said Khan.
Luton Magistrates' Court determined his case and sentenced him guilty of the hate campaign with one charge of harassment. Aylott was given an indefinite restraining order and required to pay a compensation of $1,146.
He will be put into prison if he does something to break the conditions of the indefinite restraining order, as warned by the court.
