MARSH MAN SENT RACIST AND ABUSIVE MESSAGES TO EX PARTNER
A Marsh man who sent abusive and racist text messages to his former partner has appeared in court.
Gary Scott, of The Lighthouse in New Hey Road, Marsh, pleaded guilty to sending via a public electronic communications network texts and phone calls that were grossly offensive.
These messages, sent between February 21 and 25, included racist content, and he also made phone calls to his ex.
Alex Bozman, prosecuting, stated: “These were racist in context on occasions and she generally found them offensive.” Scott also sent a number of texts and made phone calls on February 24, with one message including the racist slur: “Go die you n*****”.
Ben Tighe, mitigating, mentioned issues regarding Scott’s contact with his two children, and added that Scott has no recollection of making these calls or being abusive.
Magistrates sentenced him to a 12-month community order including 20 days of activities, and ordered him to pay a £165 fine, £85 costs, and £60 victim surcharge.
A restraining order was also granted, banning Scott from contacting his ex or going to her Primrose Hill home.
