A 'persistent' abuser who called his ex-partner multiple times to 'laugh' down the phone at her has been jailed.
Andrew Gill, 37, breached his non-molestation order against his ex-partner on multiple occasions spanning a period of three weeks, Minshull Street Crown Court heard. Gill pleaded guilty to the breaches, which also included following the victim in her car and trying to add her on Snapchat.
The court heard how Gill, who had previously been told not to contact his ex-partner or children, made several attempts to contact her in September of this year, using a witheld number. When she picked up the phone, on two occasions she recognised the defendant's voice due to him laughing on the other end of the line.
