An order was put in place on April 1 stopping Roy Lacey, aged 65, from contacting a woman in Telford.

But, on April 16 and April 27, Lacey got in touch with her and attended a property he shouldn't have.

On separate visits to Kidderminster Magistrates Court, Lacey, of Catherton, Stirchley, Telford, pleaded guilty to two charges of breaching a domestic violence protection order. On April 18, magistrates fined him £40. But when he returned to the court 10 days later, he was jailed for four weeks due to his "flagrant disregard for court orders".
