A MAN has been sentenced after sending threatening messages to women, including one on the Powys border.
Andrew Morgan appeared before magistrates in Hereford for sentencing after admitting two counts of sending a letter, communication, or article conveying a threatening message at an earlier hearing.
Prosecutor Mark Hambling told the court that the 48-year-old had made an electronic communication, namely a phone call which conveyed a threat for the purpose of causing distress or anxiety, to a woman in Kington on May 12.
