Telford man unleashed 'vile' racist abuse and rape threats to man he believed raped his girlfriend as a child
A man who unleashed a “vile” torrent of racist abuse to someone who he believed raped his partner when she was a child has avoided prison.
The man called the victim a “P*** with Ch**** eyes”, and threatened to rape him and his daughter in a tirade which included 60 messages and 30 voicemails.
Shrewsbury Crown Court was told that the victim in this case involving racist messages was himself acquitted after trial in 2021 of sexually abusing the defendant’s partner in Telford.
Judge Deni Mathews said the court “will not tolerate” vigilantism as he passed sentence in the racism case on Friday (September 19).
The man who sent the “angry” racist messages, who is not being named for legal reasons, also believed the man he racially harassed had been involved in an arson attack in which his house was left with “extreme” damage.
The abuse was delivered on the evening of April 13 last year going into the next morning. There were also 50 missed calls made.
Alexa Carrier, prosecuting, read out the racist and threatening messages, after which the defendant's barrister admitted he couldn’t remember ever hearing such “appalling” language in a court case.
Messages included: “You’ve got it coming,” and “I’m going to rape you and your daughter, you’re f****d”.
The man also said: “I will make you feel unsafe in your wife’s house... you dirty, paedophile b******.
