Do we need to increase the maximum for criminal harrassment?

Stuff reports:

The man labelled New Zealand’s worst stalker has been jailed for running a “lengthy campaign of terror” by subjecting a further eight women to months of harassment, threats and unwanted sexual attention.

Glenn Green, who has an “extensive number of aliases”, is now known as Glen Anthony Carlion and Antonio Glen Castillano. He changes his name after each stretch in prison.

He has over 200 convictions that include stalking, harassing and breaching protection orders that go back 30 years.

He appeared at the Auckland District Court on Wednesday having earlier admitted charges of criminal harassment, causing harm by posting digital communications and obtaining by deception.

He was the only one in the courtroom wearing a mask.

Judge June Jelas sentenced him to four years and two months in prison.

Every time he gets out of prison, he victimises more women. Unfortunately the maximum sense for criminal harrassment is two years. Might be time to look at increasing it.
