Hogg, 32, shouted and swore at Gillian, who is now estranged from him, tracked her movements and sent her distressing messages.
The rugby star, who plays for French club Montpellier, arrived for the hearing at Selkirk Sheriff Court accompanied by his parents, Margaret and John.

Scottish Borders, and Bearsden near Glasgow.
The dad of four, who has 100 caps for Scotland, now lives abroad and is in the middle of divorce proceedings having split up with Gillian last year, the court heard.
Hogg stood in the dock wearing a bandage on his hand as he admitted the abuse charge.
It stated that he "did shout and swear in an aggressive manner, track her movements (and) send her messages which were alarming and distressing in nature".
