Pensioner Gets Restraining Order For Pestering Local Woman

Osborne Road, Enfield

An octogenarian has been slapped with a restraining order to prevent him talking to a local woman he left notes pinned to a tree for.

Peter Frank Crossman, 84, has been banned from communicating with the lady for twelve months.

He has been conditionally discharged for a year and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £20 victim surcharge.

Crossman, of Osborne Road, Enfield, pleaded guilty to harassing Carla Morgan in his road on September 28, last year.

Highbury Corner Magistrates Court heard he attempted to speak to her on numerous occasions and left notes pinned to a tree near where she parked her car.

The court decided to pass a lenient sentence due to Crossman's age and his previous good character.
