A man will face trial at Oxford Crown Court this summer for alleged stalking and intentional strangulation.

Darren Taylor of Westfield, Harwell, has been charged with stalking involving serious alarm or distress and intentional strangulation.

The 35-year-old pleaded not guilty to the charges at Oxford Crown Court on Friday, February 6.

He is set to have a pre-trial review on May 25 at the same court, which will be followed by a trial on June 15.

He has been remanded in custody.

Stalking or harassment is when someone repeatedly behaves in a way that makes you feel scared, distressed or threatened, says general Thames Valley Police guidance.

Those who have experienced the unwanted behaviour two times or more can report it online via its website.
