Vicar: ‘I was stalked by female parishioner’
A vicar has told ´óÏó´«Ã½ 5 live he was stalked by a female parishioner after her husband died.
The Rev Graham Sawyer, who works in Burnley, told Sam Walker how he asked Lancashire Police for help “13 months before they actually did anything". The force has since apologised.
Assistant Chief Constable Terry Woods, from Lancashire Constabulary, said: "While this particular case was some time ago and our practices in dealing with such cases have moved on, we acknowledge that the level of service provided to the victim in this instance fell short of what could be expected and we apologise for that."
