Ian Puddick accused of online harassment over wife's affair
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13779141
I think Mr Puddick should be cleared of all charges personally. Why should it matter if it has put a big strain on Mr Haynes family at home when he was happy to have an affair with Puddick's wife over a 10 year period. To do that for so long in my opinion you deserve all the embarassment and shame that comes with it, hardly harassment when ou have turned the poor guys world upside down and shook it for all its worth External Media
