A cop has gone on trial accused of a course of abusive behaviour towards her same-sex partner who was pregnant with her child.
PC Nicole Miller, 31, and her former partner had agreed to have a baby together by IVF, Falkirk Sheriff Court was told.
But her former partner, who already had a child of her own, said that during the last 16 months of their four-year relationship "short-fused" Miller had repeatedly shouted and sworn at her, repeatedly told her she was a bad mother, repeatedly forced her to leave their Stirlingshire home, tried to restrict her contact with her own dad, and hid her car keys when she tried to flee back to her mother.
