An Armagh man who repeatedly targeted another male with offensive online comments has been given a suspended prison sentence and a two-year restraining order.

The comments falsely claimed that the other man was “a woman in a man’s body”. The case involved repeated online targeting and offensive remarks, according to the report.

Suspended sentence and restraining order

The court imposed the suspended prison sentence and prohibited the man from contacting or approaching the other male through a two-year restraining order. The supplied report does not state the length of the prison sentence, the identity of either man, or the specific court where the case was heard.

The report describes the online comments as “nasty” and says the claims about the other man were false. No further details about the posts, the relationship between the men or the terms of the suspension are provided in the available material.
