Weeks after splitting up with his ex, Kieran Rae (23) came calling at her house, shouting, swearing and kicking her door, telling her he was going to make a photograph of her in an “intimate situation” public.

Rae appeared at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday having pleaded guilty to threatening behaviour and causing a woman fear, alarm and distress by threatening to disclose naked pictures of her at an address in Grangemouth on December 26 last year.

The court heard both parties were not “seeing eye to eye” when the relationship came to an end. There was supposedly an attempt at reconciliation, but Rae then found out the woman was seeing someone else.

It was stated Rae had been drinking alcohol on the day in question and was “very drunk”. He is said to have stated the way he behaved was “disgusting”.
