The distraught dad of a young woman who endured years of abuse at the hands of her partner has hit out at the “pathetic” sentence he received.
Ryan Walker (23) had earlier pled guilty to one charge under the Domestic Abuse Scotland Act 2018 and appeared at Livingston Sheriff Court on Friday for sentencing.
Walker, who has since moved to Eastgate, Choppington in Newcastle, received a community payback order and a supervision period of one year. A two-year non-harassment order was also put in place.
