A Wigan borough 56-year-old has denied repeatedly sending threatening texts to a woman.

Shaun Messenger, of Orchard Close in Leigh, appeared before borough magistrates to plead not guilty to a single charge of sending Deborah Taylor a series of menacing messages between April 28 and May 1 2020.

He is being prosecuted under the Malicious Communications Act.

Messenger was released by the bench on unconditional bail until he appears next at Bolton Magistrates' Court on November 24 for a trial.
