On March 31, a 56-year-old former bond disposal software expert named Ian Armstrong just got convicted of harassing his ex-mystress after she moved on and remarried. He flooded her with bouquets worth 70 pounds, fancy hampers, and even a 700-pound credit for a jacket, all in a bit to win her back, years after their breakup. Their affair kicked off around 2016 at Bentley Motors, where they both worked. Armstrong, who was married then, planned to leave his wife but backed out, though they later lived together for about a year until she ended it in 2019. She tied the knot with her new husband in December 2020. Suzanne Lodge, also 56, and in IT Pro, told the court she felt totally violated and scared in her own home near mold in North Wales. She started locking doors constantly, fearing he was watching her, and no longer felt safe stepping outside after his surprise visits and gifts. Things escalated around Christmas 2023,

with anonymous sparkling wine and biscuits. Then he showed up unannounced in her garden. Left the red rose on a bench before Valentine's Day last year, and even drove by her place. Her sister warned him off, but he kept insisting he still loved her deeply. Magistrates and crew found him guilty despite his denials, and he's staring down up to six months behind bars as sentencing on April 27. This case hits hard on how obsession can shatter someone's peace.
