A NORTHWICH man is set to be sentenced after a month-long campaign of harassment against a woman.

Paul Fermedge, of Wright Avenue in Rudheath, made unwanted telephone calls to his victim and also accessed her social media accounts without permission.

The 29-year-old had originally denied the charge of harassment without violence but changed his plea to guilty when he appeared at Chester Magistrates Court on Monday, August 15.

Fermedge also attended the woman’s property on multiple occasions between February 9 and March 8 of this year.

He was remanded on conditional bail and the matter was adjourned until September 12.

In the meantime, the probation service will complete a pre-sentence report which will help magistrates determine a suitable punishment for the offence.

His sentencing hearing will take place at Warrington Magistrates Court.
