During that time, Brown regularly assaulted her partner and he would turn up at work with injuries.

His work colleagues were concerned about him and he eventually told one of them what had been happening.

The court was told Brown is now engaged in charity work including for the Salvation Army.

Sheriff Susan Duff imposed a community payback order with 225 hours of unpaid work and a two-year non-harassment order.
