'I never knew what fear was until I encountered this': Woman tells court of ex's repeated breaches of safety order
Briefly

The District Court ruled that a man breached a safety order by visiting his former partner's residence multiple times. He was sentenced to a two-month suspended sentence for these clear infringements. The safety order, in effect since May 2023, restricted him from contacting her directly except through email for co-parenting issues. The woman expressed living in constant fear due to his actions. On two separate occasions, she witnessed him outside her home, leading her to feel unsafe in her own space, especially during child custody exchanges.
The complainant stated, "I never knew what fear was until I encountered this," emphasizing the severe impact of the breaches on her mental well-being.
The woman recounted her fears during encounters, expressing, "He was very high, very animated," which made her feel unsafe bringing her child inside.
