Molest means “vex, annoy or injure”: Fearon v Earl of Aylesford (1884) 12 QBD 539, per Cotton LJ. In Vaughan v Vaughan [1973] 3 All ER 449, there had been no recent violence but the husband had been calling at the home of his wife early in the morning and late at night and calling at her place of work and “making a perfect nuisance of himself to her the whole time”. He admitted that he knew that his wife was frightened of him. Davies LJ observed that the effect of being constantly pestered by a man of whom she was frightened and who had on occasions used violence towards her must have had a deleterious effect on her health. He held that molestation had plainly been made out. Ibid, at 452E. Stephenson LJ said at 454G: “‘Molest’ is a wide, plain word which I should be reluctant to define or paraphrase. If I had to find one synonym for it, I should select ‘pester’. Whether communication amounts to molestation is a question of fact and degree.”
