Jail sentence: Wigan 46-year old admits harassment

Neil Biljon, of no fixed address, had initially denied the harassment without violence of a named female between June 22 and 24, but then changed his plea to guilty.

Manchester magistrates heard that he attended her address, trespassed in her property and contacted her by way of phone calls and text messages.

Jailing him for 12 weeks, the bench told him that the offences were so serious that only a custodial sentence could be justified.

A restraining order, preventing any contact with his victim for the next two years, was also imposed.
