An Enniskillen man currently on bail for charges has appeared in court on further domestic violence allegations, which include revenge pornography.

The man is charged with two counts each of disclosing private sexual photographs, harassment and using abusive behaviour to a female he was previously in a relationship with to cause her to suffer physical or psychological harm.

Philip Kenneth Moore (51), from Oakfield Court, Enniskillen, is also a single count of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety by persistently use of a communications network.

Offending is alleged to have occurred on various dates between March 4 and April 4 this year.

A police officer told Dungannon Magistrates Court the charges could be connected.

She also added breaches of existing bail conditions were reported by the alleged victim on March 30, April 1, 2 and 4, claiming she had received phone calls, messages and screenshots of online uploads.

Attempts to arrest Moore on March 31 were unsuccessful and efforts continued until he was detected on April 4.

Due to his presentation, officers transported him to the South West Acute Hospital for assessment where he was found to be fit for interview. The officer advised the subsequent interview was quite lengthy and Moore made some admissions.

With no legal representative at this point, Judge Ranaghan directly asked Moore if the breaches were accepted, to which he responded: “Yes, but it was not all one-sided. I was replying to [the complainant].”

In the course of explaining further details, Moore began shaking and broke down in tears.

After a short adjournment, the police officer objected to bail as police have concerns of repeatedly harassing the woman and the latest charges have caused her significant embarrassment and upset.

“Police believe he will carry on breaching bail and harassing this woman,” she said.

A defence barrister said while the relationship between his client and the woman has ended, there has been some level of contact between them, despite the existing court cases.

Urging bail to be granted, the defence pointed to Moore having mental health issues and “custody may exacerbate that”.

Agreeing to release him, Judge Ranaghan remarked: “I have real doubts he can stay away from this woman, but I also have doubts she can stay away from him.”

While Moore continued to be distressed, the judge ordered him to ensure he seeks assistance as he clearly needs intervention to stabilise his condition, adding: “This is now a condition of your bail and if you don’t see to that in 24 hours, you will be in breach.”

He also ordered Moore to surrender his phone to police to have all contact details on the alleged victim erased.
