A 40-year-old man was today sentenced to one year in prison at Edinburgh Sheriff Court for stalking a woman.
Scott Ellis repeatedly sent threatening communications and made malicious allegations relating to a 37-year-old woman and her family between 16th May 2013 and 14th May 2014 in Edinburgh. Some of these offences were also racially aggravated.
Ellis pleaded guilty at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday 30th April and was bailed until sentencing.
Detective Constable Graham McIlwraith said: “Ellis’ actions had a profound effect on the victim and her family and I would like to extend my gratitude to them for their courage and cooperation throughout.
”I hope the conclusion of this case provides them with some closure and enables them to move forward.”
