He was sentenced to 10 weeks’ prison suspended for 12 months, ordered to do 40 hours’ unpaid work for the community, told to pay £115 compensation to his victim and put on an indefinite restraining order not to contact the teenager by District Judge Joanne Hirst at Blackpool Magistrates’ Court.

The judge told him: “You frightened her over a period of months.”

In a report to the court, probation officer Lesley Whittaker, told the judge that Turki had come from Libya 11 years ago. He was classed as an overstayer by the Home Office.
