A Hanworth man accused of verbally abusing his neighbour's young sons has been fined by Feltham Magistrates Court after failing to show up for the second part of his trial.
Stephen Sims, of Winslow Way, originally pleaded not guilty to causing alarm and distress by using threatening words when he appeared in court two weeks ago.
The 60-year-old was accused of swearing at the youngsters from the bedroom window of his maisonette as they played in the garden next door on June 13.
Sims, a full-time carer, was defending himself but did not attend court for the second part of the hearing, on September 25, and was found guilty and fined s100 in his absence. He was also asked to pay a £15 victim surcharge and £150 in costs.
