A man left his ex-partner feeling like a "total recluse" after bombarding her with abusive messages and calls during a campaign of harassment.
Liam Teruel threatened to "end" his former partner, called her fat and said he would "blow up" her business premises after she ended their relationship due to his "toxic behaviour". As well as sending abusive calls and messages, the 29-year-old turned up to the woman's home and even followed her in a car during his offending which was carried out between August 1 and 17 this year.
Teruel, of Rocket Way, Forest Hall, Newcastle, appeared at Newcastle's Moot Hall on Wednesday via link from HMP Hull to be sentenced for putting a person in fear of violence by harassment. He had pleaded guilty to the offence at a previous hearing.
