Appearing at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday, Paul Dennett, 25, had pleaded guilty to sending video messages and text messages that were grossly offensive and contained threats of violence of a racial nature to an address in Hunter Gardens, Denny on September 30.

Addressing Dennett directly, Sheriff Maryam Labaki noted it was an “unpleasant” offence, and said she required a criminal justice social work report and a restriction of liberty order assessment.

She deferred sentence on Dennett, 6 Gartmorn Road, Sauchie, until January 25, 2024 to get them.
