“This is a case of untold concern. It was a sustained campaign of harassment, it was an arduous case and very distressing.
“Your actions were irascible and totally without remorse.
“I only see self-indulgence whereby... everyone else is out to get you,” he told the defendant.
Judge Meehan further granted an application to impose a two-year restraining order to prohibit contact with the injured party.
Bail for appeal was set at £200.
