A court heard the 42-year-old woman was 'driven insane' after Jason Cotterill spent a year bombarding her with 'disgusting' messages from his 67 different Facebook profiles.

Cotterill, aged 42, of Oldbury, was yesterday sentenced at Birmingham Magistrates' Court after being found guilty following a trial in February.

He was sentenced to 12 weeks imprisonment and given a restraining order not to contact the victim.

The court heard Cotterill and the victim were in contact through Facebook in 2013 but she had later blocked him.

They met up for three dates between January and September 2013.

Shortly afterwards the woman ended the relationship but Cotterill refused to accept her decision.

During the trial the woman said he started setting up different profiles on Facebook to send her messages and also sent her family and friends messages.

He even emailed the woman a link to a sex video she was in.

During his evidence Cotterill admitted sending the woman the video, but claimed it was because he wanted to warn her it was on the internet.

He said: "I sent her it because she was an old friend and I wanted to warn her."
