A man with a strange obsession for workmen’s boots harassed random workmen for three years in what’s being referred to as Britain’s most bizarre stalking case.
Martin Turner, 39, from Blackpool had a fascination for workmen wearing big boots, a court was told.
He was so obsessed that he would pick tradesmens’ numbers at random from the Yellow Pages and bombard them with texts and calls pleading with them to come round and stand on parts of his body with their boots, including his privates.
His victims were plumber John Elrick, roofer Ray Morris, gardener Keith Urwin, and property developer Peter Leonard. The offences took place between September 2005 and April this year. The former shop assistant, of Lord Street, pleaded guilty to four offences of harassment.
When interviewed Turner told police that some men he called, not the complainants, did visit him for what he called “fun”.
He has been said to have something of a thing for men who work in the construction industry and it seems work boots feature large in this fantasy. It is understood it has something to do with domination.
Turner is currently on bail whilst the court awaits reports.
