A COWDENBEATH man has admitted repeatedly making offensive phone calls to two women in the early hours of the morning.

The calls varied from silent to telling a woman he loved her and that he wanted to have sex with her.

The victims did not know who they were from but police investigations led to the culprit, William Lynch.

When they tracked him down he tried to throw his phone away.

Lynch, 31, of King Street, Cowdenbeath, appeared in the dock at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.

He admitted that between September 9 and 18 last year he sent phone calls to a female that were grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character by continually making silent phone calls and calls stating that he loved her.

He also admitted that between September 23 and October 13 last year he sent messages of a lewd and obscene nature to another woman.

Depute fiscal, Azrah Yousaf, said the first victim did not know Lynch but she had gone out with someone he knew.

The first call she received was at 3am from a withheld number but the caller did not speak.

There was a second silent call shortly afterwards and then a third call when she heard a male voice whispering that he loved her.

On September 18 around 4am she received a call from a male asking if she was single and he said he wanted to have sex with her.

The woman asked him if he did not realise it was “creepy” to make calls in the early hours of the morning.

The depute went on: “He said she was beautiful and he wasn’t trying to be creepy.”

The woman continued to received silent calls and then her mother began to have similar offensive calls.

The calls were recorded and police were given a USB stick which led to them tracing Lynch.

When he was being detained by police he tried to throw away his phone into nearby bushes.

Sheriff Craig McSherry called for reports and Lynch will be sentenced on January 31.
