A Boothbay man who was accused of stalking two women in 2014 was sentenced to maximum penalty for a class D crime.

Nicholas Livingston, 28, of Boothbay Harbor was sentenced to 364 days in jail, all suspended, after pleading guilty to misdemeanor domestic violence stalking on June 8 at the Lincoln County Court House.

The maximum penalty for a class D conviction is 364 days in jail and up to a $2,000 fine.

Livingston had a previous conviction for stalking; he pleaded guilty to class D stalking in October 2014 and was sentenced to 180 days in jail, with all of that sentence suspended. He was also given probation for a year with one of the conditions being not to commit any new crimes while on probation.

While he was being investigated for the first stalking charge, Livingston contacted a second victim over the summer via Facebook. The two swapped messages back and forth, and at one point agreed to go on a date, although the actual date never happened. The two only met face-to-face once — after Livingston arrived at the victim's house unannounced to rake leaves in her front yard in November 2014.

According to court documents, after the failed date, Livingston reportedly became obsessive and sent numerous messages to the victim.

Eventually, Livingston was arrested and charged with class D domestic violence stalking and held on $5,000 bail at Two Bridges Regional Jail.

Livingston will have to undergo a mental health evaluation and is prohibited from contacting the victim.

Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Livingston would serve 364 days in jail. In fact, his 364-day sentence is suspended.
