Ex-CBS anchor pleads guilty to harassing estranged wife

Hot-headed ex-Channel 2 anchor Rob Morrison cut a plea deal in a Connecticut court Tuesday that spared him jail time for bombarding his estranged wife with more than 120 phone calls over a single weekend.

“I plead guilty,” Morrison told Judge Erika Tindall in Stamford Superior Court, where he was charged with breach of peace.

He was then slapped with a six-month suspended sentence, placed on two years probation and ordered to undergo substance abuse treatment and whatever mental health treatment probation officers deemed necessary.

The judge also granted prosecutors’ request that an order of protection remain in place until 2023 – when their son Jack turns 18 – that only allows Morrison to communicate with his wife Ashley about the boy through writing, text or e-mail.

Ashley’s lawyer, Nancy Aldrich, said Morrison’s wife — a former CBS “MoneyWatch” anchor — did not want any order of protection to continue.

“She’d like to be able to communicate with him” without restrictions regarding Jack, Aldrich said.

The deal to wrap up Morrison’s legal saga was reached during a supervised pre-trial meeting last week.

Morrison had said he reached out to Ashley with the stream of calls over Memorial Day weekend only to try to talk to their son, in accordance with their custody agreement.

But cops said at the time that Ashley was “physically shaking’’ and in a “very fragile state” when she fled to them over the alleged phone harassment.

She told them she was terrified that her husband “could kill her if she got him arrested,” Darien, Ct., cops said.

The couple’s marriage went kablooey in February 2013, when Morrison allegedly choked Ashley and threatened to kill her. He was arrested but the charges were later dropped.

The couple reconciled last summer, only to split again this past April.
