A PERVERT plagued women, including a 90-year-old, with obscene phone calls, a court heard.

Anthony Manning made more than 100 sexually explicit calls for almost two years from December 2005.

Manning, 41, of Station Road, Southampton, admitted causing a public nuisance by making unsolicited calls to 16 different women across Hampshire and Dorset.

The victims ranged in age from 16 to 90, the court heard.

Manning was traced to his home where mobile phones were seized. He was arrested in January last year.

In his defence, Bournemouth Crown Court heard that alcohol was “a factor” and Manning now faced the prospect of losing his job.

He received a six-month prison sentence, suspended for two years.
