A woman whose ex-partner was convicted of raping and assaulting her says she will be less protected when he is released from prison later this year than she was before the trial.
Amelia Price told BBC News her abuser was under bail conditions before his conviction but she now faces the "terrifying prospect" he might be able to legally contact her once he has served his sentence.
The 27-year-old is calling for non-harassment orders (NHO) to be mandatory in certain domestic abuse-related cases after the judge chose not to impose one on her abuser.
In a letter to Ms Price the Scottish government said ministers did not think mandatory NHOs would be appropriate in every domestic abuse case.
The Judicial Office for Scotland said judges carefully consider the facts and circumstances of each case when making decisions on non-harassment orders.
Ms Price's former partner was convicted at the High Court in Edinburgh in 2021 and sentenced to more than four years in prison. He is due to be released later this year.
