The offender was found guilty of criminal harassment following the end of an extra-marital affair with the victim.
He sent unwanted text messages, including a threat to go 'Rambo' on her, and left a disturbing voicemail.
The Crown sought 30-45 days in custody, while the defence requested a conditional discharge.
The court emphasized denunciation and deterrence but noted the offender's lack of a prior record and positive presentence report.
The court imposed a suspended sentence with 18 months of probation, declining a conditional discharge due to the threatening nature of the communications.
