A man harassed a woman with offensive messages after the breakdown of their seven-year relationship. Callum Hill dated the woman from when they were teenagers until early last year – and months later he sent her a series of distressing emails.
Prosecutor Mike Williams told Cardiff Magistrates' Court the harassment took place between May 9 and July 5 last year after the victim had asked Hill to stop contacting her. The 26-year-old, of Caerau in Cardiff, was charged over 10 emails from that period including messages sent late at night and in the early hours.
"These messages caused her alarm and distress," said Mr Williams. "She indicated she was worried that this defendant would turn up at her workplace. There is no evidence to suggest this happened."
