A man who defied a court order not to contact his ex-girlfriend has been issued a unique kind of fine by a Hawaii judge.
Daren Young, 30, was ordered on Friday to write 144 "nice" things about his ex after repeatedly violating a protection order by contacting her.
The special punishment was issued by 2nd Circuit Judge Rhonda Loo, who informed the young man that he would also be barred from using "repeating words" in his written compliments, according to Daily Mail.
"For every nasty thing you said about her, you're going to say a nice thing," the judge informed him.
Back in February this year, the Kahului, Hawaii, man was ordered by the court to stop contacting his ex-girlfriend.
