Dentist Anthony Cale fined for harassing his estranged wife
He threatened to claim that she had stabbed him
A dentist has admitted harassing his estranged wife by making unwanted phone calls to her – then threatened to report her for a stabbing.
Anthony Cale, of Gorse Bank Farm in Hepworth, appeared at Kirklees Magistrates’ Court yesterday.
He pleaded guilty to harassment between August 4 and 20.
The court heard that the 60-year-old had been married to Janet Cale for 16 years and they had a teenage daughter.
Cale was recently arrested after his wife, secretary of his dental practice, made a complaint to police about him and he was banned from contacting her.
But on August 9 he called her mobile phone and then landline from a payphone and told her that he didn’t want to get a divorce.
He was warned about his bail conditions but called her again on August 15.
Then four days later Cale sent a text to his daughter asking her to talk to Mrs Cale.
Prosecutor Jill Seddon said: “He said: ‘Talk to your mum, none of this mess is necessary.
“’I’m going to report your mum for stabbing me – she’ll face five years in prison’.”
Mark Mangano, mitigating, said that his client had wanted to discuss the couple’s daughter who was unwell and receiving treatment.
