A court has granted anonymity to a man (55) accused of harassment and coercive control of a woman and threatening to share “intimate” pictures, despite the alleged victim consenting to him being named in the media.

A court heard the woman is agreeing to the defendant being identified but Judge Bryan Smyth imposed a ban on reporting his name. The judge made the order after the DPP consented to a request by the accused to remain anonymous.
