The court heard he got into relationships with the victims after meeting them through social media. He then convinced the women to take out loans and credit for him - promising he would pay them back. However, once he received the money he ended the relationship and left his victims to pay off the debts.

• Lance Meikle

Meikle, 42, set fire to net curtains at his address in Apsley Road which then spread through the flat and could have injured or killed people living in adjoining homes if the fire took hold, Norwich Crown Court was told.

The court heard it was only the fire doors and the fact firefighters arrived within four minutes that prevented the blaze spreading to other homes and to the flat below.

Norwich Crown Court heard how Bidle covered the woman's mouth and tried to pull her backwards before she screamed out, bit his hand and managed to remove it from her mouth.The prosecution said she then managed to knee Bidle in the groin during the struggle before he let go and ran off.

Bidle had been released by the parole board a month before the attack after serving 11 years for robbery.

Sentencing him to an extended 10 year sentence, made up of five years custody and an additional five years on licence, Judge Holt said the attack had 'terrorised' the victim.

Driver Martin Bolton, of North Denes, Lowestoft, was told by a judge he 'could have killed someone' as Norwich Magistrates Court heard of a drink-fuelled incident on Yarmouth Road, Lowestoft.

The court heard how Mr Bolton's car went onto the kerb and 'straddled the path', forcing the pedestrian to take avoiding action to avoid being struck.

District Judge Nicholas Watson, who said he could not recall dealing with someone with so much alcohol in their body, said a prison sentence was inevitable and jailed Bolton for 18 weeks. Bolton was also banned from driving for 36 months and nine weeks and ordered to pay a £115 victim surcharge.

• Jamie Gill and Dana Cox
