He blamed her for moving on and finding a new partner.Less than three months later, on July 19, he again sent intimate images of the victim to her.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Chong Yong said he showed a pattern of abusive behaviour, having already been jailed in 2021 after he was charged for similar offences relating to the same woman.
