Dammit Jan...

Transsexual who waged five-year spying campaign on neighbors faces jail...

UK - Jan Krause, 44, videotaped the family and posted the recordings on YouTube, crashed into their cars and erected a roof-mounted device which emitted a high-pitched whine in their direction. One Christmas morning, nurse Carol Story opened the curtains to find Krause sitting outside dressed all in black and wearing a balaclava while taking notes. 

The campaign left 53-year-old Miss Story, a mother of three, upset and angry and she even put the family home on the market.

But she hopes her ordeal is over after Krause, a transsexual, was convicted of harassment at Chester Magistrates' Court. She was remanded on bail for sentence and banned from keeping cameras or recording equipment. (more) (cap)
