Former Scotland rugby union captain Stuart Hogg was sentenced to supervision for a year today, avoiding a jail term after admitting he had abused his estranged wife over the course of five years.
The 32-year-old pleaded guilty to a single charge of domestic abuse of his ex-partner, Gillian Hogg, when he appeared in court in Scotland on November 4.
He admitted shouting and swearing, tracking Gillian Hogg’s movements and sending her messages that were alarming and distressing in nature.
Sheriff Peter Paterson sentenced Hogg to a community payback order with one year of supervision when he appeared at the court for sentencing on Thursday.
He also imposed another non-harassment order barring Hogg, who plays for French club Montpellier, from approaching or contacting Gillian Hogg for five years, mirroring one imposed last month.
