STALKER WHO TOLD EX'S COLLEAGUES SHE WAS 'A SLAG' SPARED JAIL AGAIN
A man unable to accept that his relationship had ended caused suffering to his former partner through persistent harassment.
Thomas Neil Moffat, aged 34, repeatedly contacted her workplace, made offensive accusations, including calling her derogatory names, and attacked her home by kicking and punching her front door.
Despite being told that the relationship was over, he kept sending abusive messages, making threats, and reaching out to her colleagues.
Moffat also threatened to break into her house and claimed he would harm himself as a means to influence her.
On October 10, he appeared at her residence and caused damage by kicking and punching the front door.
After she changed her locks and tried to move on, he continued his harassment by messaging her via Instagram, even after being blocked on WhatsApp.
During court proceedings, Moffat admitted to one count of stalking and one of criminal damage.
It was also disclosed that he had violated a previous suspended sentence through these offences.
Despite this, he received another 12-month suspended sentence, a decision described as 'unjust' by Judge Robert Linford, who called it his 'very last chance.' Moffat was also ordered to pay £1,500 in compensation, and a three-year restraining order was issued.
The victim reported experiencing increased anxiety and feeling constantly on edge due to his actions.
