Man sent abusive texts to ex-partner

AN irate ex-boyfriend bombarded his former partner with abusive messages before launching a brick through the window of the house where she was staying.

Allan May, 54, went berserk after the woman ditched plans to meet him outside Dens Park on Tuesday.

The pair had only been seeing each other for a fortnight before the unsavoury incident, Dundee Sheriff Court heard.

During his appearance from custody, May was warned by a sheriff to keep quiet or risk further punishment after he repeatedly interrupted proceedings.

Prosecutor Christine Allan told the court that at around 11.40pm, the woman heard the buzzer go off at the property where she was staying.

She could hear May’s voice outside and banging on the front door.

May said: “Open the ******* door. I can hear you walking around.”

Mrs Allan said: “All of the witnesses stayed quiet but a few minutes later, they heard a smashing sound. They could see that one of the windows had been smashed.

“A number of text messages were then sent from the accused saying ‘ya ******* wee Aids victim’ and ‘wee cow. ******* Hep C.’”

May continued to send a barrage of messages, including one that read: “I’m letting every **** know you’re an Aids and Hep C victim. Little slapper.”

Police attended and noticed the damage to the window. Officers later caught up with May before cautioning and charging him.

May, of Sandeman Street, pleaded guilty to repeatedly contacting the woman, making derogatory remarks, attending the property uninvited, repeatedly shouting, swearing, striking a door, demanding entry, making threats and smashing a window.

Sheriff Alastair Carmichael deferred sentence until September for reports to be prepared. May was released on bail.
