A man has gone on trial in Adelaide's District Court accused of cutting the brake line on his ex-girlfriend's car more than a year after she ended the relationship because he was too "clingy".
Paul Sharer, 28, pleaded not guilty to one count of endangering the life of his ex-girlfriend — who the ABC has chosen not to name — in November 2017.
The court heard this week that Mr Sharer met his girlfriend, who was 24 years old at the time, on the dating app Tinder in June 2016.
In her opening address, prosecutor Julie-Anne Lake said the relationship ended about five months later.
"Basically, she wasn't quite as keen as Mr Sharer seemed to be," Ms Lake said.
"They, however, maintained a friendship via text message and caught up for coffee on occasion."
In her evidence to the court, the woman said she broke up with Mr Sharer because he became too "clingy".
