Kristopher Hamilton, from Baltylum Meadows, Portadown faced two charges pleading guilty to improper use of electronic communications between October 31, 2025 and November 13, 2025.

No evidence was offered in relation to the other charge of harassing a woman between the same dates and it was withdrawn.

No details of the case were shared with the court.

Hamilton’s barrister Mr Joel Lindsay said: “There seemed to be a connection between the two and it didn’t get off to a good start. It was on one of these internet dating sites.

"There’s been no contact since,” said the barrister.

Deputy District Judge Gerard Trainor fined Hamilton £200 plus a £15 Offender Levy. He issued a Restraining Order in favour of the complainant for 12 months.
