Robert Marsh, of Oak Green Road, Lowton, appeared before Wigan justices to admit to the harassment of a named female, the sending of texts and making of phone calls to her in defiance of a court order between March 7 and 18.

The hearing was told that the texts and calls were made within 24 hours of a court issuing the order.

The bench said he had shown a "flagrant disregard for the law” and sent him to prison.
