AN ex-convict has been fined BD50 for threatening to send explicit photographs of his fiancee to her parents after she sought to end their relationship.
The 29-year-old Bahraini, who also threatened to publish the photographs on social media, has been found guilty of misusing telecommunication devices by the Lower Criminal Court yesterday.
The 25-year-old woman filed a case against him in July, claiming that the defendant had been inflicting tremendous emotional pain over the years.
The ex-convict was previously jailed for three years by the High Criminal Court for arson and assaulting policemen in 2015.
“The defendant was found guilty due to sufficient evidence against him,” read the court ruling.
“A series of WhatsApp messages reveal that the defendant threatened the victim on many occasions.”
Defence lawyer Entesar Al Asfoor said she would lodge an appeal against the ruling at the Supreme Criminal Appeals Court.
