EXPLAINED: Dad posted extremely unpleasant and abusive comments on facebook about ex partner and disabled child - The Real Truth

A dad who posted "extremely unpleasant" and abusive comments on Facebook about his ex-partner and disabled child has been jailed.

Jake Harriman had been given a restraining order against his former partner in December, last year but breached it by posting comments on Facebook that "incited violence" against her and their two children. Between May 2 and May 6, the 28-year-old said he wanted to see them "ran over by a lorry" as well as writing other vile posts.

On Tuesday, Harriman appeared at Durham Crown Court to be sentenced for harassment and breach of a restraining order. He pleaded guilty to the charges at the hearing.
