A man who bombarded his ex-partner with over 500 phone calls has told a judge he doesn’t believe he broke the law.

Jason Kerr from Batehaven has pleaded guilty to using a carriage service to menace, harass, offend and contravene a Domestic Violence Order.

Court documents state Kerr rang the woman a total of 539 times from a private number over a five week period in March and April this year.

The calls went unanswered and the victim lodged a complain with police.

Judge Doug Dick fined the 41-year-old carer $1500 and placed him on a fresh conditional Community Corrections Order.
