JOHN TIERNEY FROM DUNDEE INVOLVED IN DOMESTIC ABUSE INCIDENT AT HIS GIRLFRIEND'S HOME

A serious domestic assault incident involving John Tierney has come to light, highlighting a disturbing episode of violence within a private residence in Dundee. The incident occurred when Tierney, aged 36, physically restrained his girlfriend by applying a sleeper hold, a move that caused her to lose consciousness for several minutes. According to reports, the assault took place unexpectedly in the kitchen of her Dundee home, with Tierney grabbing her by the neck "out of nowhere".

Witnesses and court documents reveal that Tierney's actions could have resulted in far more severe consequences, and he was fortunate not to be facing a murder charge. The gravity of his behavior was acknowledged during his court appearance at Perth Sheriff Court, where he pleaded guilty to a series of abusive actions carried out over several months.

Between March 1 and August 31, 2023, Tierney engaged in a pattern of abusive conduct towards his then-partner. The court heard that he accessed her bank account without her consent, a clear violation of her privacy and trust. Additionally, he issued threats to her life, explicitly stating his intent to kill her, which added a dangerous dimension to his misconduct. Tierney also demanded money from her, further demonstrating his controlling and aggressive behavior.

Most alarmingly, the court was informed that Tierney physically seized and compressed his girlfriend’s neck, causing her to pass out. This act of violence was described as sudden and unprovoked, emphasizing the severity of the abuse. The court proceedings underscored the seriousness of Tierney’s actions and the potential risk he posed to his partner’s safety. The case continues to be a stark reminder of the dangers of domestic violence and the importance of legal intervention in such situations.
