Nigel Matthew Wilson, 31, from Elmswood Way, Basing, appeared at Exeter Crown Court last week after previously pleading guilty to five charges of sending electronic communications.
The communications were deemed grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character.
The offences, many committed through a social network site, date from July to November last year, against a number of women.

Wilson has been convicted of harassment and sending malicious communications, and could face up to five years in prison.
In mitigation, Johnathan Barnes said: "Some form of treatment has a better means of protecting the public in future."
Wilson, who has already served 10 weeks in prison, was remanded in custody.
