Thomas Smith, aged 23, of Johns Corner, Penzance
Smith was sentenced at Liverpool & Knowsley Magistrates’ Court after pleading guilty to using threatening, abusive, or insulting words or behaviour with the intent to cause fear of or provoke unlawful violence.
He admitted committing the offence on Telegraph Road in Heswall, Wirral on September 6, 2024.
The court heard he used threatening, abusive, or insulting words or behaviour towards the victim, or another person, intending to cause them to believe immediate unlawful violence would be used against them, or to provoke such violence. This contravened section 4(1)(a) and (4) of the Public Order Act 1986.
The court determined the offence was aggravated due to the victim’s sexual orientation, based on the words used by Smith. This factor led to an increased fine.
Taking his guilty plea into account, magistrates fined him £634 and ordered him to pay £85 towards Crown Prosecution Service costs.
