A CONVICTED sex offender left an obscene and abusive recording as his answer phone message accusing a police officer of being a liar and telling her to go away, a court was told.

Jamie Justice, aged 33, of Cyril Road, off Rainbow Hill, Worcester, admitted having two indecent images of children on his computer in March and was placed on the sex offenders’ register for five years.

Detective Constable Amanda Walker, of West Mercia Police, was the investigating officer on the case before being transferred to the offender management team.

Matt Dodson, prosecuting at Worcester Magistrates Court, said DC Walker was then assigned to deal with Justice and attempted to make contact with him on Monday, October 5.

She spoke to the defendant’s father and was given a mobile number that she tried to call several times before leaving a message.

DC Walker tried to call again and heard an offensive message from Justice saying if the caller was “the lying” Amanda Walker then go away but said anyone else could leave a message.

The court was told how Justice was earlier cautioned by police for sending “vile” messages on Facebook to the family of a woman with whom he was having an affair.

It was the police investigation into the Facebook abuse that led them to discover the indecent images of children.

Sam Lamsdale, defending, said her client was angry when he learnt he would have to deal with DC Walker again and admitted the purpose of the message was to offend her.

Justice, who pleaded guilty to sending an offensive message, will now have to meet the Probation Service so a report can be prepared before sentencing.

Magistrates confirmed they have not ruled out sending him to prison.

Justice was given conditional bail and will reappear in court on Wednesday, November 11.
