Clare woman granted protection order over ex-partner's alleged threat to release 'intimate videos'
Judge said he was 'happy to grant order' at Family Law Court in Ennis
A woman has been granted a protection order at the Family Law Court in Ennis after her ex threatened to publicly share 'intimate vidoes'.
Judge Gabbett granted the order after he was told that the woman’s ex-partner recently threatened to release private intimate videos to the public which caused the woman distress.
In her statement grounding her application, the woman said that the man following their break-up “turned up at my house and turned up at work unannounced”.
The woman said that the man told her that he would come to her town "and that I would pay for what I have done and I am in fear for my life”.
Judge Gabbett said: “In the circumstances you are in fear that he will come to your home and your work - he is not backing down is he?
He added: “He is not stopping - even when the Gardai intervene he keeps coming.”
Judge Gabbett said that he was happy to grant the Protection Order.
