A man accused of harassing two women will appear before magistrates later today.

Daniel Ryan, of Regent Street in Colchester, will appear at Harlow Magistrates' Court charged with harassment of the women in Epping earlier this year.

The charges include sending an image of his genitals, sending messages of a sexual nature, following a woman and repeated calls and texts to a woman.

The 22-year-old is said to have carried-out the harassment on at least 13 occassions between January 6 and June 21.

He denies the charges.
