Tom Hollis falsely told police that his neighbour chased him with a carving knife
Nottingham Magistrates' Court was told that Hollis started harassing the couple in May 2020, after the woman phoned 101 because she had seen people visit his house during lockdown.
"There was clearly serious distress caused to both parents and daughter, and it did culminate in them having to move." Mark Fielding, prosecuting, said the two harassment offences happened over a period of three weeks, between 2 and 25 May 2020. Hollis then called police and accused his neighbour of chasing him with a "one-and-a-half-foot carving knife" while "theatrically screaming", said Mr Fielding.Hollis is still a councillor in Nottinghamshire"He [Hollis] calmed down when police arrived, and in his calmness he still insisted with the report that his neighbour had chased him with a carving knife," said Mr Fielding.
In a victim personal statement read to the court, Mrs Jones-Golding said Hollis had "made our lives at home sometimes unbearable", and her daughter had been too scared to play outside in the garden.In his victim personal statement, Mr Golding said it made him "physically sick" each time that Hollis shouted at him he was a paedophile, which happened on "numerous occasions".
The court heard that he had one previous conviction for common assault, which dated from 2015, and he was given a conditional discharge for this.
