David Millard CAMPAIGNERS have hit out at the “shocking” decision not to jail a serial abuser of women in Dumbarton. David Millard, 38, was ordered by the High Court to do unpaid work in the community despite being found guilty of terrorising a former partner, punching her, hitting her with a baton, hurling furniture and leaving abusive messages. The crimes occurred between March 2011 and November 2014 at addresses in Clydebank, Dumbarton and Helensburgh. Millard, listed in court papers as a resident of George Street, Alexandria, was convicted of assault as well as behaving in a threatening and abusive manner at a trial last month.
