Edinburgh Sheriff Court was shown ring door bell footage of Robinson driving around the city looking for the terrified cop while she hid from him.
The disgraced PC has been suspended since the allegations came to light in November 2023 and has trousered over £75k while the case trundled through court.
He was convicted under Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harm laws on Tuesday and only now will Police Scotland disciplinary procedures kick in - meaning he remains on the payroll.
When new chief constable Jo Farrell took over last year, she agreed with her predecessor Iain Livingstone that the force was 'institutionally racist, sexist and discriminatory.'
A source said: 'He's a bully and thinks because he's a man, he can do what he wants.
'Robinson should be nowhere near the public, and definitely nowhere near any females.
"If Police Scotland is serious about rooting out misogyny and sexism in their ranks, he should be shown the door now."
The court heard that Robinson and his victim had been together for a number of years but split a month before the offences were committed.
On November 27 and 28, he began subjecting his ex to a torrent of phone messages and calls, described by court papers as 'menacing' in nature.
He was found guilty of sending her numerous messages, repeated phonecalls and voicemails 'that were of a menacing nature' and threatening to attend at the address of a pal and share information about her sexuality without her consent.

The voicemails included him demanding 'tell me where you are' and 'I'm going to come and find you - I know where you are.'
Evidence led at the trial revealed he was obsessed that she was having an affair with a woman even though there was no truth in that.
He also revealed his warped belief to her family during the two-day rampage.
The frightened woman eventually reported him to police and he was arrested.
Robinson initially faced accusations he had threatened to kill himself and threatened to report her missing to police but he was found not guilty of those charges.
He was sentenced to a 100-hour community payback order and banned from contacting his victim for two years.
Chief Superintendent Helen Harrison, Head of the Police Scotland Professional Standards Department, said: 'Robinson's actions go against everything Police Scotland stands for.
'Our thoughts are with the victim in this case and I hope this conviction provides them with some measure of closure.
'We understand how difficult it can be to report these kinds of offences, particularly when the perpetrator is a police officer.
'We want the public to be reassured that all reports are thoroughly investigated, no matter when the offending took place or who is involved.
'The vast majority of officers and staff conduct themselves in line with our values of integrity, fairness, respect and a commitment to upholding human rights.
'All officers are bound by our Standards of Professional Behaviour, which apply on and off duty.
'Any instance where an officer fails to uphold our standards will be investigated and appropriate action taken.
'This matter will now be progressed in terms of the Police Service of Scotland (Conduct) Regulations 2014.'
It's understood Robinson remains suspended.
