Southampton Magistrates' Court (Image: NQ)
A MAN has been jailed after he breached a restraining order three months after it was made.
Lee Stevens was handed a restraining order banning him from contacting two women on March 15 this year.
The order was made after he pleaded guilty to harassment by making numerous "unwanted and abusive calls" to the women.
But just three months later, the 40-year-old contacted two women while on High Street in Eastleigh in June.
The incident was described as "deliberate, wilful, and persistent" in court.
Appearing at Southampton Magistrates' Court, he admitted two charges of harassment by breaching a restraining order.
Stevens, of Bishopstoke Road, Eastleigh, was jailed for 12 weeks.
