Arbroath Narcissistic Abuser Verbal Abuser
In a recent case heard at Perth Sheriff Court, Daniel Carter, a resident of Arbroath, faced serious legal consequences after he admitted to sending a series of offensive and threatening messages to his former partner via Facebook. The incident took place on January 6, when Carter's messages, described by prosecutors as 'grossly offensive' and containing 'indecent, obscene or menacing' content, were received by the woman around 11 pm.
According to court reports, Carter's messages included a barrage of derogatory names and a chilling warning: 'Be warned. You will learn the hard way.' These messages were part of a pattern of abusive communication that caused significant distress to the recipient. The court was informed that the messages were not only offensive but also contained threats, which heightened the seriousness of the case.
During the hearing, Carter's defense solicitor, David Holmes, explained that the reason behind Carter's upset was his discovery that the complainant had been seen with another individual. Holmes stated, 'Mr Carter had seen the complainer with another party and that is why he was upset on this day.' Despite this explanation, the court emphasized the importance of respecting personal boundaries and the law.
Sheriff Craig McSherry, presiding over the case, imposed a fine of £400 on Carter and issued a non-harassment order, which prohibits him from contacting or approaching his former partner for a period of two years. The ruling aims to prevent any further harassment or intimidation, underscoring the court's stance on protecting individuals from abusive behavior in personal relationships.
