Victim wept as stalker phoned her from prison

-

A stalker who was remanded in custody because it was feared he would contact his victim again phoned her hours later from prison.

Jonathan Edwards-hughes told Carla Cox he wanted to say sorry. She became tearful and hung up.

Magistrate­s at Llandudno heard that restrainin­g orders were already in place preventing Edwards-hughes, 36, from contacting three other victims.

He pleaded guilty to stalking Miss Cox, who he met through a dating website. Yesterday, he was jailed for 16 weeks, told to pay her compensati­on of £500 and ordered not to contact her again.
