A Telford man who harassed a woman so she was scared to leave her home - and ordered another man to attack her new boyfriend - has been jailed for 27 months.
Gary Sylvester, formerly of Furnace Lane, Trench, was also handed a restraining order to prevent him from contacting the woman and her new partner after pleading guilty to a section 20 assault, putting a person in fear by harassment, and a charge of intimidation.
Prosecutor, Ms Holly-Louise Kilbey, said Sylvester's victim had been"extremely scared and took threats seriously". She told the court that the attack left the male victim with a fractured eye socket and nerve damage. In defending Sylvester, Robert Edwards told the court that the catalyst for the incidents had indeed been a dog.
