Land of Odd: Spurned lover makes 10,000 calls to ex

A dumped girlfriend plagued her ex with more than 10,000 calls and text messages in 65 days, a British court has heard.

Timothy Mortimore, 37, received the equivalent of one call or message every eight minutes, Britain’s Daily Mail reports.

His 23-year-old ex, Lee Amor, reportedly ignored police warnings about her behaviour after the end of a six-month relationship.

Pregnant, and wrongly convinced the baby was Mr Mortimore’s, she contacted him an “astronomical” number of times, the paper says.

The Daily Mail report says Amor appeared before South Devon Magistrates’ Court and admitted harassment “in texting, sending mobile video messages, telephone calls, and in person”.

She was given a two-year conditional discharge, told to pay £200 costs and made the subject of a restraining order barring contact with Mr Mortimore.

Mr Mortimore, of Torquay, told the court the experience had caused him “physical and emotional fatigue”.
