A man has been granted bail after appearing before the court charged with harassing his former partner through a barrage of hundreds of electronic messages.
The court heard that the accused allegedly sent around 400 messages within the span of a single day, causing fear and distress to the complainant.
During the arraignment, the prosecution outlined the communications that led to the victim reporting the matter to the police, resulting in charges relating to harassment and causing fear of violence.
The defence requested bail, arguing that strict conditions could adequately mitigate any risk of interference with evidence or contact with the victim.
The presiding magistrate upheld the bail request, imposing standard conditions, including instructions not to approach or communicate with the complainant pending further proceedings.
