A 23-YEAR-OLD stalked his former partner by sending her abusive messages repeatedly on voicemail and social media.

The offending, which went on for around six weeks, was carried out by Ryan Oliver, of Seaforth Road, Langlees, Falkirk, who admitted his guilt at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.

Between November 17 and January 3 in Inverkeithing, Oliver contacted his former partner repeatedly via social media, called her from withheld numbers and left abusive messages on her voicemail, and repeatedly shouted, swore and made derogatory comments.

Sheriff Susan Duff called for reports and Oliver will be sentenced on March 8.
