NHS midwife sent emails to ex warning him to "watch his back" and branding him a "stupid clown"

An NHS midwife has been fined and told to abide by a restraining order after she accused her policeman ex of being 'thick', 'stupid' and 'useless'' in a series of emails. Cecilia Hopkins, 53, had faced the sack after firing off 20 angry messages to custody detention officer Jeremy King which he claimed left him in need of ''psychological support'' and requiring six months off work.

In her messages, sent over a ten-month period, Hopkins, from Warrington, told her ex: “I hope that you are feeling bad, stressed and useless”, “I have not finished yet, you have no future, you are thick and stupid and a stupid clown”, “Watch your back Jeremy King,” “There is no hope for you at all, you are f***ed,” and “I will come to your parents, I’ve something to deliver.”

She was later charged with harassment after former PCSO Mr King who currently deals with violent offenders on a daily basis with Merseyside Police said he felt ''vulnerable and intimidated because of the threats.''
