A bully has been ordered to pay £1,000 to his former girlfriend after he admitted encouraging her to self-harm. Daniel Anderson told the woman that he hoped she would "do it properly next time" in reference to a suicide bid she had made.
Anderson was condemned by a sheriff on Wednesday for refusing to accept responsibility fully and instead blaming his vulnerable victim. The victim told a trial at Perth Sheriff Court that she had been left feeling suicidal after receiving the callous messages from her then boyfriend.
Sheriff Euan Duthie said: "This was resolved by a plea after the complainer and another witness had given evidence. I have to flag my concern from the social work report.
