Case Summary
Allegations
This case concerned a pharmacist who was found guilty of eight breaches of a Restraining Order originally imposed in 2018 following a conviction for assault and criminal damage involving his ex-partner. The Restraining Order prohibited all forms of direct and indirect contact and specific references to the ex-partner online or electronically.
In February and March 2024, the registrant repeatedly violated the terms of this order. Incidents included attending the ex-partner’s residence multiple times, deflating her car tyres, calling her workplace, and contacting her over 36 times in one day. These actions occurred while a child, his son, was involved and emotionally impacted. The registrant made statements such as “see what I did” and showed little remorse during his police interview, declaring “Fuck the Restraining Order” and later saying he felt “marvellous” about the matter.
