A MAN who sent a pizza to a woman's house and followed her in her car during a month-long period of harassment has been handed a restraining order.

Salimoni Dau pursued a course of conduct that amounted to harassment between August 31 and September 18 this year.

The court heard how the 41-year-old messaged her on Facebook, telephoned her, sent a pizza to her Southampton address, attended her place of work and followed her in her car.

Appearing at Southampton Magistrates' Court, he pleaded guilty to a single count of harassment.

Dau, of no fixed address, was handed a restraining order banning him from contacting the woman until January 18, 2023.

He was also ordered to carry out 120 hours of community service and fined £95 victim surcharge and £450 court costs.
