A HOMELESS woman has been sentenced by the courts for harassing a Bournemouth resident.
Karen Turner, aged 44 and of no fixed above, attended the victim's address, rang the doorbell on numerous occasions and was seen loitering and intimidating the victim and her family between May 21 and May 23.
Turner appeared before magistrates in Poole on July 8, where she admitted a single count of pursing a course of conduct which amounted to harassment, having previously pleaded not guilty.
The court handed her a conditional discharge for 12 months and ordered her to pay a £22 victim surcharge.
