A man who bombarded six women with sexually explicit messages, sent unsolicited sexual images and turned up at victims’ homes has been jailed for six years.
Liam Pickstock, 36, from Egremont in Wirral, subjected six women to a sustained campaign of harassment between 2020 and 2026 — leaving victims frightened, anxious and distressed.
One woman described receiving between 30 and 70 voicemails through the night, alongside voice notes claiming he was outside her home and asking her to open the door.
Pickstock also sent messages saying he would be waiting outside her workplace. His relentless contact left her feeling unsafe both at home and at work.
He was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, after pleading guilty;
– Three counts of Harassment – put in fear of violence
– One count of Harassment without violence
– Three counts of Cyber flashing
Alongside his six-year prison sentence, he received three years on extended licence.
Pickstock used a social media account under the alias “Joe Price” to contact women. His harassment also extended to telephone calls, voicemails, emails and handwritten letters.
Police described the communications as frequently sexually explicit, degrading and threatening. He sent explicit images of himself and attended the home addresses of some victims.
Although investigators traced his offending back to 2020, his behaviour escalated significantly in March and April 2026, when several women reported large volumes of unwanted contact over a short period.
In a victim personal statement, one woman described how the harassment stripped away her sense of security and independence.
Previously confident and comfortable living and working alone, she began struggling to sleep and became constantly anxious. She increased her security checks and grew suspicious of people around her.
The sexual messages left her frightened about what Pickstock might do. The impact extended to those close to her and changed how she interacted with strangers.
She told the court: “I feel like I have lost a part of my personality and the confidence I previously had.”
Detectives linked Pickstock to the offences through digital evidence, CCTV, telephone records and seized devices.
For the six women subjected to his campaign, the harm went far beyond unwanted messages: it invaded their homes, disrupted their sleep and left them fearing what would happen next.
