- One of his alleged victims feared for her safety, police said
Sean Flintoff, 35, appeared in the Adelaide Magistrates Court today via video link, after being arrested and charged while in custody yesterday with 21 offences, including 16 counts of stalking.
It’s alleged he mainly targeted women aged in their 30s who he approached through online dating platforms and marketplaces between 2013 and this year.
The Andrews Farm man has faced the Elizabeth Magistrates Court twice in the last month on two other stalking charges.
The first woman said she had met Flintoff on an online dating app.
Police said the second woman came forward as a victim of stalking by the man after seeing a media release about the first case.
She had also met Flintoff on a dating app earlier in the year, and had “fear of her safety”, police said.
Mr Flintoff did not apply for bail, and will next appear in court in October.
