A husband banned from contacting his estranged wife was jailed after he inadvertently sent her a message on the social networking site Facebook.
Dylan Osborn, 37, had been ordered by magistrates not to contact his wife Claire Tarbox, after he harassed her with phonecalls and text messages.
But when he joined Facebook to look at a friend’s wedding photos, the site sent an automatic “friend request” to everyone on his email list - including his ex-partner.
Osborn, from Newport Pagnell, Bucks, said the message had been sent without his knowledge, but the following day his wife contacted police.
He was arrested for breaching his bail conditions and a judge later ordered him to spend ten days in prison.
He was finally freed three days early after a plea from his solicitor.
