A NORWEGIAN lawyer took revenge on his girlfriend’s ex-boss by placing a false sex advertisement with the phone number and e-mail address of the female radio station manager, a local court said.

　The manager at Radio Kongsvinger in southeast Norway got at least 50 calls in a two-day period offering her “excitement and secret love affairs” after the advert was placed on a Web site, the court said.

　The man admitted to having placed the advert, saying he wanted to pay back at the woman for pestering him.

　The radio manager, who is also a local politician, had fired the lawyer’s live-in girlfriend. She denied the allegations of pestering.

　The court sentenced the lawyer to pay US$1,330 in fines and gave him a 30-day suspended jail term. The lawyer’s sentence included a penalty for illegally storing child pornography on his computer.(SD-Agencies)
