A man has apologised before the High Court for breaching High Court orders not to have any contact with an extremely vulnerable woman. The man was arrested and brought before Mr Justice Alexander Owens by members of the gardaí on Tuesday to answer claims he had been in contempt of orders restraining him contacting the woman. If there were any further breaches of the order the Judge warned the man that he could be committed to prison. Arising from concerns for the woman, the President of the High Court Mr Justice Peter Kelly made orders last March restraining the man contacting her whether by himself or through others. There was also prima facie evidence of the man contacting the woman in late April, threatening her and telling her he had other people watching her home.
