The accused, Dustin Fahey, faced five criminal charges arising from domestic incidents with his former spouse, Andrea Randell, and her mother, Jeanette Randell.
The charges included threatening, unlawful confinement, criminal harassment, and assault.
The court found Mr. Fahey guilty of threatening Andrea Randell and criminally harassing her, based on credible testimony and extensive text message evidence demonstrating a pattern of manipulative and relentless communication.
However, the court dismissed the charges of unlawful confinement and assault due to insufficient or unclear evidence.
The judge rejected the accused's claim of memory loss, finding it untruthful and not a valid defence.
