A spurned lover dumped after being “nasty” sent his ex Snapchat videos of him burning her clothes and a photograph.
Harvey Prince, of Broadstairs, had been drinking when he also rained his foot down and smashed her father’s windscreen in a rage.
The 18-year-old admitted his actions at Folkestone Magistrates’ Court before his sentencing hearing on June 25.
Laying down the facts of the case, prosecutor Lucie Fish said: “Mr Prince was in a relationship with the woman, and her father lives with her.
“Their two-year relationship ended in November 2024.
“She had tried to end it on numerous occasions, but he was always nasty to her.
“He then posted a video of himself burning her photo and then a video of him burning her clothes.”
Seeking revenge after being jilted last November, Prince went to her home in Friends Avenue, Margate, and jumped on her father’s car bonnet.
The court heard Prince, of Lindenthorpe Road, then leapt on the windscreen and “stomped on it with his heel” smashing it.
Describing the alarming moment Prince arrived, Ms Fish said: “They heard loud banging outside their home and went out and found him on the bonnet of the car.
“He broke the glass by stomping on it with his heels and then said, ‘There’s more to come’, and left the scene on a bike.
“They later exchanged messages (about the damage) and he said he had been upset and had been drinking and was an idiot.
“He made no comment in interview, but it was a revenge attack and she is concerned about what he will do next.
“She just wanted to break up.”
Prince was later charged with criminal damage and admitted the offence, which happened on December 3, while appearing in the dock at Folkestone Magistrates’ Court on June 25.
He had never been in court before, his lawyer Gemma Adams said, who urged magistrates to give him credit for his early guilty plea.
She added: “He’s of previous good character but the relationship breakup gave him poor mental health and he’d had alcohol.
“He’s being assessed for ADHD and he’s got anxiety and depression but he earns £500 a week as a bricklayer.
He’s very young and could not deal with the breakup like we would.”
Magistrates told Prince his behaviour was disconcerting for the young lady and her dad but fined him £500 for the offence.
He was also ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £200, £100 compensation to the woman’s father and £85 in court costs.
Prince will pay what he owes the court at a rate of £50 a month.
He was also handed a 12-month restraining order banning him from contacting the woman.
