String him up! Fury at lover who duped woman in ‘pull a pig’ joke

-

‘Heartless’... Sophie’s mum, Julie happened and it’s so dangerous. I want people to know what happened to me so this never happens to anyone else.”

The pair slept together after they met following the Barcelona terror attack in August, she said.

Miss Stevenson said: “It was a proper holiday romance for Jesse and me. We slept together in Barcelona and when I came back to the UK, we carried on talking every day. We talked about having a long-distance relationsh­ip.” Back in the UK, she planned for her three-day visit and spent £350 on a hotel and flights, going from Manchester to Amsterdam on September 29.

She said: “He knew I’d booked flights, that I’d paid for a hotel and he was going to meet me when I arrived at 5pm on Friday.

“But when I arrived, he wasn’t there to pick me up. Six hours later he finally messaged me – on Snapchat.” After receiving his “You were pigged” message, she replied: “How could you be so cruel though!”

Jesse from the town of Doetinchem has been criticised in the Netherland­s and branded “a male chauvinist­ic pig”.

Miss Stevenson’s mother Julie said: “If he was here I’d string him up. As she was getting on the plane he was calling her and telling her he couldn’t wait to meet her.

“It just shows you the lengths he was going to make a fool of my daughter. He has shattered her confidence and most nights she just sits there in tears. It’s just heartless.”

Her daughter has been inundated with messages of support on social media.

Audrey Taylor said: “I hope your mother is so proud, Jesse Mateman – you disgusting apology for a human being.”

Jacqueline Abrams, from Plymouth, added: “He should be very scared, though, because karma will make sure he is dealt with accordingl­y.”

Speaking last night Jesse denied that the couple had slept together and said the claims were ruining his life.

“I never had a Sophie,” he added. romance with
