GALASHIELS MAN JAILED FOR THREATENING TO DISCLOSE INTIMATE FILM

July 2025: A GALASHIELS man who threatened to disclose a film which showed a man in an intimate situation has been jailed for eight months at Selkirk Sheriff Court.

Thirty-eight-year-old Rory Morrison pleaded guilty to committing the offence at his home in Hawthorn Road on New Year's Day.

He sent messages on social media threatening the man, acted aggressively towards him, and uttered offensive remarks with the intent of causing fear, alarm, and distress.

Morrison also admitted a second charge of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner towards family members at a house in Queen Elizabeth Square, Galashiels, on May 11, and uttering threats of violence towards police officers.

2024: A GALASHIELS man who admitted abusive behaviour towards a retail worker has been fined £200 at Selkirk Sheriff Court.

Thirty-six-year-old Rory Morrison pleaded guilty to shouting and swearing, making a derogatory remark, refusing to leave and then dropping his trousers and exposing his buttocks to a sales assistant at Boots in Huddersfield Street, Galashiels, on June 9.

The court heard Morrison was banned from the store and reacted when the sales assistant said he had to leave.

In addition to the fine, a £10 victim surcharge was added.

Morrison was also fined £80 with a £10 victim surcharge to breaching a non-harassment order back in January.
