A PORT Charlotte man who threatened an Australian woman in an Islay youth hostel was told to prepare for a serious fine last Thursday.
Following a trial on June 29, Matthew Ross, 18, of 8 Daal Terrace, Port Charlotte, had his sentence deferred until last Thursday when he appeared before Sheriff Ruth Anderson QC.
Last month Ross was found guilty of threatening or abusive behaviour with a sexual element regarding an assault made on an Australian mother who could not be named for legal reasons.
