Graham Paul Day
Racially aggravated harassment *
Sentence
22 weeks imprisonment
On March 8, 2021, at 3pm, Graham Paul Day, 58, of Withington Street, Sutton Bridge, engaged in shouting and arguments with his partner, leading to police being called by a female neighbour of Portuguese, Welsh, and English descent. After police left, Day demanded to know who called them and racially abused her with racist names, accused her of a lesbian relationship with another neighbour, and made malevolent allegations of drug use and sexual language against various neighbours. This behaviour, building since 2019, caused the victim to move away. Day, who suffers from alcoholism and has 10 prior convictions, was arrested and suggested the victims colluded. He has no prior similar convictions but was under a suspended sentence.
Admitted causing racially aggravated alarm, harassment and distress. Breached an eight-week suspended sentence for assault from 2020. Ordered to pay £128 in court charges upon release and issued a restraining order preventing contact with the two victims.
