6 Months Jail for a string of abusive messages...
Over 70 text messages and voicemails - mostly consisting of threats of violence has landed this man a 6 month jail term. The judge gives credit for a guilty plea but makes mention of his past conduct where numerous convictions for ABH and intimidation are on his record. Psychiatric reports which highlight an attention disorder are also considered.
The case relates to a break down in a relationship in 2012 where a paternity issue saw his ex partner block access to their child on grounds that the child was not his. A campaign of intimidation then ensued with threats of violence and harm levied upon his victim, serious enough to involve the police.
Emotional scenes in the public gallery as the sentence is handed down and the defendant is lead away.
