A young man who scared his partner by texting: “The male is king – you should never try to control a man,” has proven to be challenging for the Probation Service and resistant to doing a parenting course.

Sentencing was adjourned for a lengthy period for the accused man to comply with the directions of the Probation Service and particularly to complete a parenting course.
