DUNDEE WOMAN ADMITS CAMPAIGN OF HARASSMENT INCLUDING PREGNANCY TESTS THROWN THROUGH DOOR
Pregnancy tests were pushed through a Dundee man’s door by his ex-partner as part of her three-day campaign against him.Kayla Hegarty appeared at Dundee Sheriff Court to admit engaging in a course of behaviour which caused the man fear or alarm between August 12 and 14 this year.
The 19-year-old pled guilty to a campaign of offending including repeatedly shouting, acting aggressively and throwing his belongings out a second floor window, damaging them.
Hegarty repeatedly sent him nominal sums of money by bank transfer with messages as their transaction references.
She repeatedly, persistently and excessively contacted him by text, social media and phone, despite being asked to cease contact.
She then targeted his family in a similar fashion, attending his home with her friends and loitering outside.
Hegarty, of Dunholm Road in Dundee, accessed the man’s Ember bus account, tracked his whereabouts and waited for him to leave the bus.
She also posted pregnancy tests through his letterbox.
First offender Hegarty will return to the dock to be sentenced in November.
