A violent bully subjected his partner to horrific abuse for more than a year.
Calum McAllister, 40, of Beveridge Street, Dunfermline knocked the woman to the ground, dragged her by the hair, repeatedly punched her and squeezed her jaw.
McAllister admitted his engaging in a course of abusive conduct between March 2020 and July 2021 during a trial at Dunfermline Sheriff Court after his former partner had given evidence.
Sheriff Susan Duff noted McAllister had two previous convictions for domestic offences and said although a reference to the woman being pregnant when assaulted was removed from the charge by the Crown, that is what had happened.
“We heard the evidence and as a matter of fact, she was pregnant and a child was present,” said the sheriff.
She imposed a community payback order with 300 hours of unpaid work, a nine-month restriction of liberty order and participation in the Caledonian Men’s Programme for domestic offenders.
McAllister was also ordered to pay £1500 compensation to his former partner.
