Stalker sentenced for rape threat to officer and harassing women he knew from school

A stalker who spat blood at a female police officer and threatened to rape her has been handed a community sentence. Kieran Dorian also admitted terrifying four women during a campaign of social media harassment – bombarding the quartet with messages on Snapchat, Twitter and Facebook. Dorian, 20, of Broughty Ferry, became obsessed with the women who he knew from his schooldays, Dundee Sheriff Court was told. He pleaded guilty to four charges of stalking committed between October 2011 and May 2015. He further admitted charges of assault and behaving in a threatening and abusive manner plus making lewd sexual comments to a pair of 13-year-olds in the queue at a McDonald`s restaurant in Dundee on July 30, 2016, before sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl moments later. Dorian faced a separate set of charges for assaulting a police officer by spitting blood at her, making lewd remarks to her and threatening to rape her. Sheriff Alastair Carmichael imposed community payback orders with three years` supervision, 120 hours` unpaid work and conduct requirements. A sexual offences prevention order was imposed on him for five years with conditions around his conduct, as well as a non-harassment order preventing him from contacting his stalking victims for five years. Dorian was also placed on the sex offenders` register for three years. The court heard he became obsessed with his four victims individually over the course of four years. He went to one woman`s door at 3am and stayed there until 7am before insisting he walk her to work. Dorian later put a “rambling, nonsensical” love letter through the woman`s door on Christmas eve. He spotted one of his victims on a bus in 2014 and didn`t speak to her, but went home and bombarded her with Facebook messages. Another was spotted by Dorian at her work, before she emerged and found him sitting staring at her. He then went home and sent her 50 Snapchat messages and a video of him scrolling through her Twitter feed. Fiscal deputy Eilidh Robertson said that in relation to the attack on the officer, she had been working on the `Safezone` bus parked near Dundee`s nightclubs that provides a haven for intoxicated people. Miss Robertson said: “The accused attended with a head wound. He told staff to f*** off and began jumping up and down. “He made offensive remarks to the officer and made sexual comments to her. He then threatened to rape her. “The accused then gathered up spit and blood in his mouth and spat it at the officer`s feet. “He later made further sexual remarks, including about the officer`s mother, then said `I`ve f****d a 12-year-old in the bushes`.” However, defence solicitor Doug McConnell made a successful plea for a non-custodial sentence.
