Son is jailed for abusive late-night texts to mother

Nasty and abusive text messages were sent, late at night, by a young man to his own mother, putting her in such fear she called the gardaí.

Judge Leo Malone said yesterday at Cork District Court the accused, Dean Cremin, had been on a safety order from the court requiring him not to put his mother in fear.

Imposing a five-month jail sentence, the judge said: “This man has no regard for any order of the court.”
