A man, described in court as a 'complete recluse', has been jailed for harassing six women who work in the journalism and media industry.

Brendan Doolin of Leighlin Road, Crumlin, Dublin insulted, abused and threatened them online over a five year period.

Each of the women said they felt like they were being stalked on the internet, and despite their pleas for him to stop, he continued to harass them.

Judge Martin Nolan said he must have felt 'untouchable' and free to insult and criticise them behind the shield of anonymity.

He handed down a five year prison sentence, but suspended the final two years and warned him never to contact any of them again.
