Stalking Cyber Harassment For Years

[Capotec]

HI, Looking for some info/advice please. We are in the process of a stalking/cyber harassment case and the person doing it has been relentless over the past 5 or so years. We have also been relentless in gathering every message, photo etc that we were sent and the police have all of it. The person in question was creating multiple fake accounts per day sometimes and sending from those. The person in question is very well known to the police and has a long history of harassment of quite a few others as well, using the same methods. Businesses and individuals have been slated online etc -the list is long. He didnt show up at the last court citation but he did at the most recent where he pled guilty. We are assuming that would be because of an amount of evidence against him? Given that he has a history of court appearances, previous similar offences, pled guilty in this one and has another 4 or 5 citations for the same thing in the up coming months, how does it work? Say he was found guilty of all of them (because he is) , what's the likely outcome -do they take the other cases into consideration, given that there will be a pattern of harassment in general? Up until this, we had never seen the inside of a court, so we are clueless really and hoping that someone can give us a scenario or two of possible outcomes... thanks in advance. Any info much appreciated.
