Wilson, of Cauldwell Hall Road, Ipswich faces one charge of breaching a restraining order and another charge of harassment. The court heard that Wilson allegedly made a series of phone calls to Miss Ellinor between September 27 and September 30, 2003. He has pleaded not guilty to both charges.
Opening the case before a jury of eight men and four women prosecutor Charles Kellet said Wilson had been unable to accept the end of the relationship with Miss Ellinor.
He said: "It would seem this was not something the defendant would ever or has ever accepted."
