Morgan’s defence lawyer said there was a background to the case and that on the day in question, his client recognised who the complainer was and challenged him.

Morgan’s lawyer said her position is that the complainer said he did not care about her or her family which had provoked her.

Morgan was sentenced to 140 hours of unpaid work to be completed in 12 months.
