WOMAN THREATENS ESTRANGED HUSBAND AND IS SENTENCED FOR ASSAULT AND HARASSMENT
A woman bombarded her estranged husband with threatening texts and phone calls when he refused to hand over her £25,000 share of their savings.Karen Lynch repeatedly claimed she was going to get police to arrest Michael Lynch and even contacted his workplace making accusations about him.
She threatened to make a false sexual assault claim against him and to make his life hell if he failed to meet her demands.
Lynch then marched towards him and slapped him twice in the face during a confrontation at her home.
She also used her son’s mobile to contact him, rang his parents demanding money, and made threats to tell the whole street about their business.
On November 4, she demanded half of his savings during a phone call, claiming she knew where he lived and that she would send police to arrest him unless he gave her the money by 12pm.
Lynch labelled her ex 'a piece of scum' and went around to his house, refusing to leave and threatening to tell the whole street about their business.
She also claimed she’d been treated in A&E due to the 'psychological effect you’re having on me' and threatened to report him for 'forcing me to have sex against my will', which was untrue.
Lynch told him she’d have him charged with serious stuff if he didn’t give her the money.
Magistrates ordered a two-year restraining order banning her from contacting her ex or going to his home, and she was ordered to complete a nine-month community order with 15 days of rehabilitation activities.
She must also pay £100 court costs and an £85 victim surcharge.
