Stephen Andreassen, 38, compiled up to 35 website blogs in which he insulted Rebecca Pattinson after she ended their month-long relationship.
The couple met in 2006 through friends and began dating three years later when Miss Pattinson, went to see Andreassen perform on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square as part of the “one and other” exhibition by the artist Antony Gormley. Miss Pattinson, 36, a mother of two and a mature university student, ended the relationship after four weeks when Andreassen asked her to view a flat with him.
Andreassen began bombarding Miss Pattinson with calls, emails, texts and messages over Facebook begging to be taken back.
She threatened to call police and tightened security on the social networking site and got Andreassen removed from her contact details.
When she deactivated her Facebook account, Andreassen set up a series of blogs posting messages about her “warning all men’’ and listing links to his other websites giving his account of their affair.
Last year Andreassen, of Urmston, Greater Manchester, avoided jail but was banned under a lifetime restraining order from mentioning Miss Pattinson on any websites after he admitted harassment.
Two months later, he was arrested again after he posted another entry on his blog detailing the court case and called the woman involved a “liar’’ and “a sociopath”.
