Kangley qualified in 2001 and was a practising solicitor since 2004. She had built up a “fairly high-profile clientele amongst the criminal fraternity”, the court heard. He took the phone from her bag but she could not reason with him to return it.She eventually removed the SIM card and threw the phone on the bed.

She later bought him a SIM card and topped up the phone, which was used to search for information about her and to intimidate others. The phone was recovered and examinations revealed that he had used it to contact Kangley and for internet searches of his former solicitor and his rape victim.Judge Keenan said the aggravating factors were the “serious breach of trust on the part of the accused” and that the phone was used to “intimidate other parties”.
