TheisisWhen Mitchell met John Hall, he felt that he was one, until he came to know that he was married. With a heavy heart, he ended the relationship, which made him take a constant length that he would take him to the stalk, including him to follow one of the highest mountains in England.
In September 2024, Mitchell Lake was increasing the Hellevlene with a pedestrian group in the district when she saw her.
“It was a foggy day and we were walking on the mountain when I see this man out of the fog,” he said.
“This is that. I told my friend ‘This is that’.
“My feet went like a jelly, I felt as if I could not breathe.”
TheisisThe relationship started in 2021 when they met at work and became close to walking together and going out for food.
Michelle did not doubt when he suggested that he keeps his relationship secret from colleagues, as it was “just something for him”.
However, she was shattered when a colleague asked if she knew her new lover is married.
He ended the affair, but the hall tried to change his mind that he and his wife were like “brothers and sisters”.
A pattern of behavior then began when he moved with Mitchell, but would leave after a week and went back to his wife.
After several months of turmoil, Mitchell ended the relationship for good.
After this there was an ongoing campaign to chase, due to which she quit her job and a woman started living in asylum.
He said that he left his flat when the hall would change it after bombing him with texts and phone calls during the night.
When he did not answer the door, he would throw a stone at his window.
Mitchell says that she was afraid of her life on many occasions and often thought: ‘Is this the day when she is going to do something?’
TheisisRemembering his visit to Lake District, he said: “He followed us for seven hours.
“When we returned to the car park, he was sitting on the boot of his car.”
She said that she had tried to go to a pub and stall her, but she was still there hours later.
“We decided that we have to leave so I entered my car and made him last – he was staring at me because I had run the past.”
His friend shook him as he went away and warned him that his hunter was driving behind him.
He pulled it into a petrol station, then waited that his journey was resumed so that the hall came to know that he was running in front of him.
“The cars were beating him and he pulled him into a delay and then when I went to the past, he pulled him after me.”
“I shook the police to report him again and they asked me to go to the police station.”
TheisisWhen Mitchell called the police after walking on the mountain, he did not see the hall for several months.
He was arrested and sent to custody for four weeks.
He was followed by a community order and preventive order in the week of the Newcastle Magistrate Court after Lake District Ordel.
He was tagged electronically as part of the order, although he managed to rip it and sent a picture of Michelle in his hand.
Says Michelle, “When he was on remand, I was very relieved, but he was also very guilty and I felt as if I had to tell people that he was not a bad man even after everything I did,” Mitchell says.
TheisisBut the pain continued. The hall will call the number continuously.
She says that she would watch videos of her tick tok and message her on the app.
He returned to court within weeks and got into custody.
“I felt very lonely.”
He was assigned a Paladin case worker A -National Charity that supports the victims of stacking – and remained in refuge about 25 miles from his house.
TheisisIn July 2025, the halls appeared in the Newcomel Magistrate Court, where they convicted him for chasing and sentenced to five and a half months in jail.
After two days, he was released on the license due to the time spent on remand.
Mitchell says that when she told the probation service, she was “Gadgad”.
However, he violated the terms of the license and was sent back to jail to serve the rest of his sentence.
“Something must be done to prevent this type of behavior,” Mitchell said.
“I want peace to be.”
Jess Philips, a minister of safety and violence against women and girls, said his views were “with the victim and all those affected by this deeply disturbed case”.
“Stacking is a terrible and insidious crime that robs the victims of their freedom and security,” she said.
“That is why we are taking decisive action to protect the victims and ensure that criminals face real and permanent consequences.”
He also said that there was a plan to strengthen security orders and to stop the law, so the police was being reviewed, so the police could “crack the dangerous criminals and get the support to more victims he deserves”.
He said, “These measures are part of our ambitious mission to reduce violence against women and girls in a decade.”
