Leeds man given restraining order after sending offensive emails and Facebook message to Therese Coffey

A Leeds man has been told he must not contact an MP after he sent offensive emails to her.

Robert Harrison, 58, of Oakwell Avenue in Armley, was also made the subject of a 12-week sentence suspended for 12 months for the emails he sent to Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Therese Coffey.

Court documents show Harrison, who was sentenced at Leeds Magistrates' Court on November 8, sent emails and a Facebook message to Ms Coffey. The documents said he "sent by means of a public electronic communications network matter, namely e-mails to Therese Coffey MP, that was grossly offensive, or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character."
