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.
