KYLE ALLEN FROM HAWICK FACES SENTENCE AFTER DOMESTIC ABUSE CASE

A resident of Hawick, identified as thirty-year-old Kyle Allen from Northcote Street, is set to face sentencing next month after admitting to a domestic-related offence.

Allen pleaded guilty to engaging in a pattern of abusive behavior directed towards his partner or ex-partner over a period spanning from February 2022 to June 1 of this year. The charges stem from a series of actions that were deemed to be emotionally or physically harmful, highlighting a troubling pattern of conduct that has now come under judicial scrutiny.

The court proceedings saw the sentencing being postponed to allow for the preparation of background reports, which are typically used to provide the judge with a comprehensive understanding of the offender’s history and circumstances. The case is scheduled to be revisited on July 28 at Jedburgh Sheriff Court, where a final decision on the sentence will be made.

This case underscores ongoing concerns about domestic abuse and the importance of legal measures to address such conduct, especially in communities like Hawick where the incident took place.
