A MAN who subjected a woman to a sickening assault and then harassed her with threatening and obscene messages and letters has been sentenced to three years on probation and has been placed on the sex offenders register.

Brian Cunningham (45), appeared from custody from Barlinnie prison at Alloa Sheriff Court on Thursday after previously admitting sexually assaulting the woman on 18 April 2004 at Earn Court in Alloa.

He also pled guilty to sending threatening and abusive letters cards to the woman placing her in a state of fear and alarm and committing a breach of the peace between 23 June and 21 August 2004.

Cunningham went on to admit sending threatening and obscene comments via the public communications network that were of a grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene, or menacing character, threatening the woman with violence and placing her in a state of fear and alarm between 18 April and 25 August 2004.

He further pled guilty to sending a package with live maggots to his victim at Earn Court on 21 August 2004 and to a separate charge of failing to appear at court on 6 June 2005 after being granted bail.
