JORDAN MILLAR

DOMESTIC ABUSER CONVICTED AFTER CAMPAIGN OF VIOLENCE AGAINST TWO VICTIMS A Scottish court has convicted a man of domestic abuse after finding he carried out a sustained course of violent and abusive behaviour against two victims over a prolonged period.

Jordan Andrew Millar was found guilty of a single charge of domestic abuse, defined in law as a course of conduct, following evidence that showed repeated assaults and ongoing abusive behaviour rather than an isolated incident.

Court records confirm that Millar assaulted one victim on 26 August 2019, 3 January 2020, and 1 March 2020, before continuing with abusive behaviour on 7 March 2020.

A second victim was also recognised as part of the overall abusive conduct considered by the court.

Although prosecutors made minor amendments to the wording of the charge, the court ruled that the pattern of abuse was proven and upheld the guilty verdict.

Both victims’ identities are protected.

Following conviction, Millar was placed under strict court restrictions.

He was ordered not to contact the victims in any way, and the Sheriff later imposed a Non-Harassment Order (NHO), making it a criminal offence for him to approach, contact, or attempt to contact them.

At sentencing, the court imposed a Community Payback Order, including 12 months of supervision and 54 hours of unpaid work, to be completed within six months.

The Sheriff warned that any breach of the Non-Harassment Order could lead to arrest and further prosecution.

Officials confirmed that while bail conditions have since expired, the Non-Harassment Order remains in full force and carries criminal penalties if breached.

Victim support services were involved throughout the process, and the court acknowledged the serious and ongoing impact domestic abuse has on those subjected to repeated controlling and violent behaviour.

This case serves as a reminder that domestic abuse is often about patterns of harm, not single incidents — and that the justice system will act when evidence shows repeated abuse affecting multiple victims.

——————————————————- Victim 1 I was in an intimate relationship with the offender for just under one year, between 2024 and 2025.

Early in the relationship, a concerned colleague warned me that the offender had a history of heavy drug use, dishonesty, and emotional and physical abuse towards previous partners.

When I confronted him about this, he denied all responsibility and instead portrayed a former partner as the abuser while presenting himself as the victim.

At the time, he was extremely convincing, and I believed him.

Throughout the relationship, I became completely isolated from my friends and family.

If I spent time with friends, the offender would accuse me of ignoring him or being selfish if I did not respond immediately to messages or calls.

This behaviour caused me to withdraw from my social life entirely, leaving me isolated and unhappy.

He also made repeated comments comparing my appearance to his previous partners, stating they were “skinnier” than me, and implied I was lucky that someone like him cared for me.

These comments significantly damaged my self-esteem and were used as a means of control.

Without my knowledge or consent, the offender accessed my mobile phone and read my private messages.

He frequently accused me of cheating, which was untrue.

This constant suspicion and interrogation were mentally exhausting.

If I challenged his behaviour or tried to defend myself, I was met with prolonged silent treatment or accusations of lying.

I attempted to end the relationship on multiple occasions over a period of more than a month.

On the first attempt, the offender threatened to make false reports to my professional regulatory body in order to have me investigated and potentially lose my job.

This threat frightened me and caused me to remain in the relationship longer than I wanted to out of fear for my livelihood.

As the situation escalated, my mental health deteriorated significantly.

I became suicidal and at one point told the offender that I would rather be dead than continue being with him.

Following this, he attempted to turn others against me, including neighbours, by spreading false allegations.

This period was extremely distressing and overwhelming.

After the relationship ended, the offender subjected me to persistent harassment.

On many days, I received approximately 25 to 30 missed calls along with countless messages.

He also attended my home without warning.

This behaviour caused extreme fear and distress, particularly for my two young children, who were frightened by his presence.

Due to this ongoing harassment and the impact on my children, I contacted the police.

I am aware that only two former partners, including myself, have contacted the police about the offender.

However, I have spoken to several other ex-partners who described similar abusive behaviour.

Some showed me photographs of damage to their property, including holes punched into walls during incidents of anger.

I was also informed by multiple people that, during my relationship with the offender, others had considered coming to my home due to unpaid drug-related debts owed by him, which I was completely unaware of at the time.

This placed both me and my children at serious risk.

The impact of this relationship has been profound.

I suffered emotional, psychological, and mental harm, and my sense of safety—particularly within my own home—was severely damaged.

I continue to feel anxiety and fear as a result of what I experienced.

I am deeply concerned that the offender will not change his behaviour, as he has repeated the same patterns across multiple relationships.

He tends to move quickly into new relationships and portrays former partners as bitter or jealous in order to discredit them.

I am genuinely fearful for future victims and do not want anyone else to experience the harm that I, and others, have endured without knowing his history.

——————————————- Victim 2 I was in a relationship with the defendant during 2019 for just over a year.

During this time, I experienced repeated domestic abuse, both physical and psychological.

The defendant was controlling and isolating, deliberately distancing me from friends and family and leaving me without support.

I was subjected to physical assaults, including being strangled, kicked, and punched.

These assaults resulted in visible injuries such as bruising and black eyes.

Alongside the physical violence, I endured ongoing emotional and psychological abuse.

I was made to feel worthless, frightened, and alone.

The constant fear and manipulation affected every part of my daily life and left me feeling trapped and powerless.

In December 2021, the defendant was found guilty and convicted of a course of conduct of domestic abuse, including assault and abusive behaviour committed over the period 2019 to 2020.

While the relationship ended, the impact of the abuse did not.

As a result of what I experienced, I developed severe post-traumatic stress disorder.

For a long time after the relationship ended, I lived in constant fear and anxiety.

I suffered panic attacks, sleep disturbances, and emotional exhaustion.

I required medication to help manage the effects of the trauma.

Even now, I continue to live with the long-term consequences of this abuse.

My confidence has been permanently damaged, my trust in others has been affected, and my overall mental health has suffered significantly.

This abuse has had a lasting effect on how I live my life and how safe I feel.

The trauma is not something that simply ends with a conviction; it continues to affect me on a daily basis.

I am also deeply concerned that this behaviour was not an isolated incident.

Since the defendant’s conviction, two other women who were in relationships with him after me have come forward with similar experiences of controlling and abusive behaviour.

One of these cases proceeded to court in 2025, where the defendant was again found guilty.

My primary concern is the ongoing risk the defendant poses to others.

The repeated pattern of abusive behaviour over several years demonstrates conduct that is dangerous and harmful.

I fear that without appropriate intervention and restrictions, someone else could be seriously affected in the future.
