A MAN could be facing a jail-term after he hounded a charity worker he had been banned from contacting.
Kevin Travis ranted on Facebook about Susan Tulley, who is employed by the Glasgow City Mission homeless organisation.
The 51 year-old had already been the subject of two non harassment orders not to go near Miss Tulley.
Travis was found guilty after a trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
Prosecutors stated he engaged in a course of conduct which caused the 42 year-old fear and alarm.
It was said he published multiple posts on social media about Miss Tulley featuring her phone number and email address.
He also got in contact with her colleagues at the charity with "offensive and alarming" comments as well as putting them online.
The crime was between March 29 and August 6 2020.
Sentencing was deferred until next month.
Miss Tulley told jurors how she knew Travis through her eight years at Glasgow City Mission.
She confirmed he had a court order not to approach her - but was unaware of the most recent Facebook posts about her until Travis was arrested again.
Her workmate Jack Geddes instead had been alerted while monitoring social media about the charity.
Prosecutor Jacob Tomnay asked: "What were the contents of these posts?"
The witness: "A lot of them were rants, one of them said 'Susan Tulley hates foreigners' and he mentioned some of the other staff.
"He posted her email address and work mobile number on them."
Mr Geddes told the court he was alarmed by the messages.
Mr Geddes also said he had been aware of Travis writing a "negative" review about the charity, which "looked like a rant about Susan and the people that worked at Glasgow City Mission.”
Sheriff Joan Kerr remanded Travis in custody as sentencing was deferred for reports.
