Another message added: "Enjoy your weekend. I've posted your name and address over the internet, rapist." The victim also recorded eight phone calls he had received from Higham via a withheld number. In one shortly before midnight on September 21, she played a song down the phone.

She then called him a 'f***ing freak', adding: "I'm
