The 55-year-old was charged with more than a dozen offences including domestic violence, unlawful stalking or intimidation, breaking into a dwelling with intent at night, common assault, assault occasioning bodily harm and choking or suffocation.
The prosecution told the Maroochydore District Court, that alcohol “was a repeating feature with his offending as his behaviour becomes more erratic.”
“The court heard Slater made threats of self-harm as he warned the victim not to report harassment and she felt extremely fearful and exhausted by Slater’s behaviour,” the report read.
