A man from Stirling named Kyle Webster has not yet finished his unpaid work for committing domestic abuse over three years ago. The 33-year-old was back in Alloa Sheriff Court for a review of his community payback order, which was imposed for a series of abusive behaviors towards his partner between November 2019 and January 2020.
During this time, Webster displayed aggressive behavior, shouted, swore, called his partner abusive names, punched walls, sent threatening messages, and kicked a door causing it to hit his partner on the head. Despite the court’s order, Webster still has over 120 hours of unpaid work left to complete.
Sheriff Neil Bowie acknowledged Webster’s progress in the Caledonian Programme for domestic abuse offenders but emphasized the importance of prioritizing the unpaid work. As a result, Webster was given an additional four months to finish the remaining hours.
The Sheriff’s warning to Webster highlighted the urgency of completing the unpaid work and reminded him that it must be a priority. It is crucial for individuals like Webster to take responsibility for their actions and fulfill their obligations to address and rectify the harm caused by domestic abuse.
Domestic abuse is a serious issue that affects many individuals and families, and it is essential for perpetrators to face the consequences of their actions. Community payback orders and programs like the Caledonian Programme aim to hold abusers accountable and provide support to prevent future abusive behavior.
By completing the unpaid work and engaging in rehabilitation programs, individuals like Kyle Webster can take steps towards acknowledging their actions, changing their behavior, and contributing to a safer and healthier environment for themselves and their partners. It is a process that requires dedication, accountability, and a commitment to personal growth and change.
