Specsavers worker drove ex to brink of suicide after sending him over 1,000 texts begging him to take her back
A SPECSAVERS worker drove her ex to the brink of suicide after sending him more than 1,000 text messages, a court heard.
Michelle Felton, 28, rang or messaged Ryan Harley up to 150 times each day after he dumped her — asking: “Why won’t you speak to me?”
The couple started dating in May 2020 but split up this February after a row in which she kicked him in the privates and Mr Harley accidentally broke Felton’s finger.
Lynne Sayers, prosecuting, said: “There was then a constant bombardment, with as many as 100 to 150 missed calls in a day over one 11-day period to Ryan.
“As she goes on, he says ‘This has become toxic. Just leave me.”
Chester magistrates court heard that Mr Harley called police when Felton began leaving gifts on his doorstep.
He told them: “I just want it to go away and for it all to stop. I just feel like ending it all.”
Felton, of Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, admitted harassment and was bailed for sentencing at Warrington magistrates court in January.
She must not contact Ryan or his mother.
