OBSESSED EX IS JAILED FOR FAKE KIDNAP

Stalker’s false bump

- By JERRY LAWTON jerry.lawton@ dailystar.co.uk

AN OBSESSED ex was jailed yesterday after buying a false baby bump to fake a pregnancy then staging her own kidnap when her lover dumped her.

A court heard “intelligen­t, resourcefu­l” PR executive Jessica Nordquist turned stalker after colleague Mark Weeks broke off their brief relationsh­ip.

The 26-year-old purchased a fake bump on Amazon to back her claim that she was eight weeks pregnant.

She sent messages to Mr Weeks’s clients accusing him of rape, set up a fake account and sent out a “confession” email making it appear that he was owning up.

In a campaign against him she set up 20 fake

Instagram accounts branding him a sex attacker.

Finally she faked her own abduction. Mr Weeks received photos of her tied up and attached to a message reading: “We raped and stole her.”

Police found her safe and well in Scotland, hundreds of miles from where she worked in London.

Yesterday Alaska-born Nordquist, was jailed for four-and-a-half years at Snaresbroo­k Crown Court. She was convicted of stalking, sending malicious communicat­ions and perverting justice following an earlier trial. She smiled and said “thank you” as sentence was passed. She also is banned from contacting Mr Weeks. A psychiatri­st said a childhood trauma may have led to her offending.
