A man deliberately spat in his ex-partner's face, called her a 'f****** rat' and sent threatening texts to one of her children.
Philip Courtney, 37, spat in the face of his ex-partner in front of two children on February 7, 2022. Courtney then carried on with his “disgusting” behaviour and was abusive to one of the two young teenagers.
Liverpool Crown Court heard how the three left and Courtney sent texts threatening one of the youngster's and the police were notified. He was arrested and when interviewed the next day denied the offence and was released under investigation, said Zahra Baqri, prosecuting.
