A WREXHAM man who embarked on a 'campaign' of breaching suspended sentences has been jailed after the latest saw him harass his ex-partner.

William Williams of Crescent Road, appeared before Mold Crown Court on Tuesday, November 5.

On August 29, the 22-year-old pleaded guilty to harassment against his ex-partner Rebecca Hughes, which thrice put him in breach of a suspended sentence order imposed last October.

A condition was made under the suspended sentence, set to last 16 months, for Williams not to contact Ms Hughes via a restraining order to last five years.

However, Simon Rogers, prosecuting in the case, explained that the defendant was in breach of that three times between January 1 and January 31, February 1 and February 27 and March 1 and March 11 of this year.

Mr Rogers said that the pair had previously been in a relationship for 'around two years'.

In January, while he shouldn't have been contacting Ms Hughes, Williams sent a message to her on Facebook, stating; "I miss you, I can't do life without you."

She then met up with him three times in January because she 'felt bad for him' and they talked during this time, but this had led to 'arguing'.

Williams had messaged Ms Hughes, accusing her of 'being with other people'.

During that period in February, the pair continued to meet up and if she didn't, he would call her a 's***'.

In March, they met 'three or four more times', but he continued to call her derogatory names and demanded to see her phone.

On another occasion, they met and Williams wouldn't let Ms Hughes go home, he pushed her to her shoulders, causing her to be upset, the court heard.

In April during interview, Williams answered 'no comment' to all questions put towards him.

Ms Hughes stated that the incidents had left her feeling 'trapped and manipulated'.

In a victim personal statement, she added that she had agreed to meet Williams as she was 'worried of the consequences'.

She is now on medication for anxiety and depression, the court heard.

The prosecution added that Williams had a 'history of disobedience'.

He added that Williams maintained that Ms Hughes had contacted him.

Sentencing Williams, Judge Niclas Parry said the defendant had 'embarked on a campaign of suspended sentences', having previously breached others before this one.

He added: "There comes a time when the doors have to be closed."

Williams was given a six month prison term for the three breaches of the suspended sentence, to run concurrently.
