A man has been sentenced for harassing two women, making threats, and breaching court orders, leaving them in fear for their safety.
Oldham: A man named Brian Ogden, 37, has been sentenced to prison for harassing two women. He’s got a history of domestic abuse, and this time, he really crossed the line.
So, here’s the deal. Ogden was already on thin ice with the law. He had court orders telling him to stay away from these women. But as soon as he got out of jail for another issue, he started messaging one of them, asking to see their kids.
Things escalated quickly. When she told him to go through social services, he got furious. He even threatened her, saying he’d make sure she never saw the kids again and that the police wouldn’t catch him.
He showed up at her house, knocked on the door, and even tried to shove something through her letterbox. It was all caught on her Ring doorbell. He even stole the doorbell! Can you believe that?
Ogden didn’t stop there. He called her and made more threats, saying things like, “I’m gonna stab you up.” It’s terrifying to think about what she went through. She felt like she was constantly on edge, moving around just to feel safe.
And it wasn’t just her. He was also harassing another woman at the same time. He sent her abusive messages, claiming he had a hit out on her. He even sent a video of himself with a knife, saying he was ready to hurt someone. Just wild.
In court, the judge had enough of Ogden’s behavior. He pointed out that Ogden had a long history of domestic violence and made it clear that this kind of harassment wouldn’t be tolerated. Ogden got 38 months in prison, which is a serious wake-up call.
It’s a sad situation all around. The women involved are left dealing with the aftermath of his actions, and it’s a reminder of how important it is to take threats seriously. Let’s hope they can find some peace now.
