Drama in Swansea! Robert Stanier, struggling to accept his ex-wife’s new relationship, went a bit too far by sending threatening messages to her new partner. He claimed he had “Scousers” watching his every move! The situation got so intense, it ended up in court. Stanier and his ex were together for nine years before going their separate ways in 2020. However, it seems he couldn’t move on, breaching a restraining order in place since 2024.
In November, Robert sent messages via LinkedIn, declaring he would “destroy” his ex’s new partner, and hinting at a Liverpool-based crew “watching his every move.” This provocative behaviour didn’t go unchecked. The police soon got involved, leading to his arrest. His house was searched and, amongst other things, officers found a knuckleduster, which he bizarrely claimed to use as a bottle opener!
In court, it was revealed that Robert has previous convictions, including assault and harassment. Despite his claims of trying to better himself through an electrician’s course, the judge wasn’t having any of it. With a guilty plea on the table, Robert was sentenced to 13 months in prison.
The story is a gripping reminder of the importance of respecting restraining orders and finding peace in moving on. Here’s hoping for a fresh start for everyone involved! Stay tuned for more local updates!
