Plasterer forced to move home after neighbour complains

Posted: Friday, November 17th, 2023

A plasterer has been forced to move home after a string of accusations by a neighbour meant he could face six months in jail, according to Daily Mail.

Karen Chazen, 54, filed 30 different reports to police against plasterer James Monk claiming he parked his vehicle deliberately outside her lounge window so she could not see outside and would repeatedly rev the van whenever he parked up or left.

Miss Chazen, a yoga teacher and social worker who lives alone, further alleged Mr Monk, 36, mocked her by whistling Roy Orbison's 1960 hit 'Only the Lonely' within her earshot.

But the case was thrown out at Sefton magistrates court in Merseyside, after hearing that Mr Monk, was forced to move out of his home due to the continuous allegations from Miss Chazen and faced up to six months in jail if convicted of harassment.

JPs dismissed the case after it emerged, she had also complained about a string of other people including her previous neighbours and about workmen operating outside her former home.

The court heard Mr Monk had been living trouble-free in an apartment block in Waterloo, Liverpool for ten years but the problem began on the actual day Miss Chazen moved into the flat below him in June 2022.
