Nicole Kristeen McClymont convicted of stalking and burglary against former boyfriend Alan Grimshaw

A Central Queensland man was forced to change the locks on his home, put a lock on his bedroom door and install CCTV after his ex began stalking him and entering his home. Find out the extreme lengths she went to while stalking him.

A psychologist has recommended two years of intensive psychotherapy for a woman who made 2900 calls to her former Central Queensland boyfriend over a two and a half month period.

Nicole Kristeen McClymont, 34, was sentenced in Rockhampton District Court on August 23 after pleading guilty on May 24 to one count each of stalking and burglary.

McClymont was on probation at the time for creating a fake Facebook account using another woman’s photographs to start an online relationship with her former boyfriend, and then contacting the woman the photographs belonged to asking for more photographs and personal information to assist in her facade.

Crown prosecutor Maryam Yousufzai said McClymont carried out a prolonged period of stalking in Biloela between February 28, 2021 and May 15, 2021, harassing victim Alan Grimshaw in front of colleagues and customers, along with violating the sanctuary of his home by entering the house using a key after he had changed the locks.

Nicole Kristeen McClymont, 34, pleaded guilty on May 24 in Rockhampton District Court to one count of stalking and one of burglary.

McClymont had taken a stuffed toy from the home during the break-in but changed her mind and returned it.

Ms Yousufzai said the victim had to change his lifestyle, put a lock on his bedroom door and install CCTV at his home because of McClymont’s persistent harassment.

McClymont also sent the victim 85 emails, called his workplace 44 times, rocked up to his house 10 times uninvited, and attended his workplace four times where she stormed into his office and yelled at him about their relationship in front of co-workers and customers.

Ms Yousufzai said Mr Grimshaw had his work colleagues answer the work phone for him, fearing it was McClymont calling.

Defence barrister Sheridan Shaw said her client had returned to the services of a psychologist she had been seeing before commencing the three year relationship with the victim.

She said McClymont had since participated in 10 group therapy sessions.

The court heard the mother-of-one had been recommended to undertake intensive psychotherapy in 24 months to reduce her risk of reoffending.

The court heard one of the diagnoses McClymont had received was attachment disorder.

Judge Katherine McGinness said the report by the psychologist stated McClymont had “a difficult background” and had “experienced abandonment” by her family “at an important time you your life, and there was instability” in her life growing up.

“You seem to be a very intelligent and talented young woman,” she said.

Judge McGinness said McClymont appeared to have very positive goals for her future.

She sentenced her to 18-months prison, wholly suspended and operational for two years.

Judge McGinness also placed McClymont on a two-year probation order with a special condition that she undertake any psychological or psychiatric treatment as directed.
