Fiscal depute Susan Love said Myers had previously been in a relationship with the woman, but that they were no longer together and she had a new partner.
She told the court during Saturday morning the woman received an email from Myers in which “he made various threats to assault her new partner”.
The fiscal depute added that within the email the accused referred to the man as a “leprechaun”.
She said: “This was found to be offensive as the man was born in Dublin.
“Myers pled guilty to sending a message to his ex partner that was grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character in that it used offensive and derogatory language to refer to her new partner and threatened to assault him.
