A HEREFORDSHIRE man has been up before the court after sending abusive messages.

Anant Chauhan entered a guilty plea to magistrates in Hereford.

The court heard the 46-year-old had pursued a course of conduct which amounted to the harassment of a woman in Hereford between June 9 and November 24, sending a number of messages making accusations including of drug-taking, and containing personal abuse.

The case was adjourned for a pre-sentencing report to be carried out and Chauhan, of St Michael's Close, Kingstone, will appear before Hereford magistrates for sentencing on June 16.
