One Hawaii man has a serious writing assignment ahead of him, thanks to a court order.
On Oct. 27, Maui 2nd Circuit Judge Rhonda Loo ordered Daren Young to write 144 compliments to his ex-girlfriend, in response to the 144 “nasty” text messages and calls that he allegedly sent her in a three-hour span, the AP reports.

Evidently, Young’s ex had sought a protection order, which was issued Feb. 22, 2017. He was told not to contact her, including by phone.

According to the Maui News, Young received time served for spending 157 days in jail. He was also sentenced to two years of probation, $2,400 in fines and 200 hours of community service, in addition to the unique writing assignment.
"It's so childish to think a grown man can be so thumb-happy," Loo said. Further, the judge was frank with her opinion of the harassment.
