Man jailed six months for sending 7,648 texts to ex-wife
A court in Austria on Wednesday sentenced a man
who sent his ex-wife 7,648 text messages within six weeks to six months in
prison. The 33-year-old Romanian national, was charged
with stalking and making dangerous threats.
The man and his wife separated earlier this year
after six years of marriage. The man reacted to the break-up by sending a
barrage of messages, including 50 in which he threatened the woman.
The ex-wife told the court she did not believe he
would actually attack her.
The judge asked the defendant how he had managed
to send so many messages – an average of about 190 a day – and keep his job at
the same time.
He wrote mostly at night, the man answered the
judge.
