Kevin Macalpine, a 53-year-old volunteer from Wick, has been admonished in court for sending repeated messages to his former partner, her friends, and her son, requesting reconciliation.
He admitted to this behavior after a relationship of 14 months ended in 2024, which prompted his ex-girlfriend to report his conduct to the police.
During a court hearing at Elgin Sheriff Court, Macalpine was found to have initiated a campaign of contact seeking to rekindle their relationship, including messages to her associates.
His ex-partner was highly supportive of a non-harassment order, which was ultimately granted.
Macalpine's defense acknowledged that he went too far, but stressed there was no malice and that his actions caused irritation and upset.
The sheriff decided that a non-harassment order forbidding him from contacting his former partner for the next two years was the appropriate action, and he was not further punished, only admonished.
