A WOMAN who harassed a surgeon has been given a restraining order banning her from contacting him.

Ann-Claire Corfield, 55, of Eastern Terrace Mews Brighton, persistently sent letters to gynaecologist Dr Peter Larsen-Disney, visited his home and called his office.

Corfield denied harassment but was found guilty by Brighton Magistrates' Court on July 4.

She was given a restraining order banning her from contacting him or going to his home for a year and ordered to pay court costs of £165.
