Endless Love

A man who kept bombarding his ex-partner in San Pedro del Pinatar with bouquets of roses as well sending text messages will have to serve 56 days of community service, after his appeal failed over a coercion charge. The Murcia Provincial Court upheld an earlier ruling from a Cartagena court over a series of incidents that happened earlier in the year, with the jilted lover refusing to accept that his seven month relationship was over as he pestered her with flowers and messages. He had been accused of going to her San Pedro home and causing over 550 euros of damage in her garage with the help of a baseball bat, but the Murcia court ruled that were was insufficient proof that he had broken in. Instead they upheld a conviction of coercion against his ex-girlfriend, saying that his behaviour was “an affront to the dignity of women”.
