Ashley Dodd

In September 2014, Ashley Dodd, then 28 years old and from Exhall, Warwickshire, was jailed for four months at Nuneaton Magistrates' Court for making hoax calls to families. Posing as a hospital doctor or care worker, Dodd made eight bogus calls in June 2014, targeting residents in the Bedworth area by selecting names from a phone book. During these calls, often made in the early hours, he falsely informed victims that their relatives had died, leading to significant distress, including one victim planning her son's funeral and another suffering an asthma attack. Dodd pleaded guilty to eight charges under the Malicious Communications Act. The court heard that he had a previous conviction for a similar offense, as well as a history of dishonesty and public order breaches. He expressed shame for his actions in court.
