Provincial court Judge Allan Fradsham also handed Monroe, 33, an additional nine months for breaching three probation orders he was on at the time, two which were for previous incidents of stalking Jefferson, and 60 days for an unrelated mischief charge.

With credit for time spent on remand, Monroe will have nearly 27 months left to serve, Fradsham ordered.

Monroe earlier pleaded guilty to three charges of criminal harassment as well as the other offences after he menaced Jefferson and Beckler by showing up outside their DJ booth only eight days after his release from jail.

He first stalked Jefferson, with whom he has no personal connection, in 2016 and on Jan. 17, 2017, he was placed on probation for three years after spending more than two months behind bars.
