Marcus Croskell for Angel said his client suffered with ADHD and had £30 a week remaining out of his disability living allowance.
He said: “He realised that what he did would cause anguish and inconvenience to the victim.”
Judge Neil McKittrick said he was not pleased to hear that an ADHD sufferer was prone to binge drinking and decided to allocate some of the money he might spend on alcohol for compensation.
He also placed Angel, of Felix Road, on 12 months probation supervision and gave him a curfew between 8pm and 6am for the next eight months.
