Cork woman claims her ex-partner threatened her over the phone

The court heard the accused man is the subject of an unusual safety order where he is prevented from ringing his ex-partner but she can ring him anytime she likes

The court was told the complainant said she was taping the phone call even though she was the one who made the call.

A young woman testified that she was put in fear when her ex-partner threatened her on the phone, saying: “I swear by everyone in Kilcully you are going to be sorry for saying that.” 

The young man pleaded guilty to breaching the safety order in the case dealt with at Cork District Court. Sergeant John Kelleher gave evidence of the background to the matter at the in-camera hearing.
