Man cleared of harassing actress

Samantha Morton starred in Steven Spielberg's Minority Report

A man has been cleared of harassing Oscar-nominated actress Samantha Morton, but given a restraining order to stop him from contacting her.

However Noel Watts, 42, of Gabor Close, Clifton, Nottingham, was convicted of harassing Morton's agent Nicola Van Gelden via texts and phone calls.

He was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison for this offence but will not serve as he has already spent 62 days on remand.

Nottingham-born Ms Morton, 30, has twice been given Oscar nominations.
