A Perth man who threatened to send explicit photographs of his ex-partner to “every f—king business executive” he knew has been banned from spending time with or communicating with his daughter.

The man appeared in the Family Court of Western Australia, arguing against an order that would determine he posed an unacceptable risk to the ex-couple’s eight-year-old if he continued to see her.

An appeal against the decision can be lodged.

The court heard details of previous family violence committed against the mother, including threatening to send explicit photos of her to her workplace and lashing out at her through violence.

“The father admitted he pushed the mother, hit her with tea towels, forced her out of the house six or seven times, stopped her leaving the house, and pinned her down,” the judgement reads.
