KILWINNING MAN ADMONISHED FOR CAUSING WOMAN FEAR OR ALARM
A Kilwinning man named John Steveley, aged 60, of Redstone Avenue, has been admonished for causing a woman 'fear or alarm.' He admitted at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court to causing his partner or ex-partner fear or alarm between July 21-24, 2023, at Hillfoot Road in Ayr and at Ayrshire Central Hospital in Irvine.
His actions included repeatedly calling and messaging her, leaving flowers at her address, and attending her hospital appointments despite her wishes for him not to be there.
The court heard that solicitor Peter Murray informed the judge that Steveley had completed a structured deferred sentence, which was confirmed with a positive report and a good outlook regarding his empathy and remorse.
Sheriff Laura Mundell acknowledged that Steveley's completion of the order and his positive report indicated full responsibility.
Consequently, Steveley was admonished and dismissed, meaning he will not face further court proceedings for this offence.
