I’ve never had a girlfriend, says Naomie stalker as he’s spared jail

- By Rebecca Camber Chief Crime Correspond­ent

JAMES Bond star Naomie Harris’s stalker wept as he was spared jail yesterday after telling a judge he had never been in a real relationsh­ip.

The 37-year- old loner turned up unannounce­d at the actress’s front door earlier this year vowing to ‘present his soul’ to her – causing the star to suffer a panic attack.

In his bid to get closer to Miss Harris, 44, the Danish farm labourer – who calls himself Ii Ovisyonair­o Ii – had even booked reiki sessions with the celebrity’s mother.

Ii had a number of passports in different names, having changed his name from anders Christian Nymand by deed poll.

The stalker had become fixated on several famous women and had also tried to woo a former Brazilian beauty queen.

He sent Miss Harris scores of sexually charged letters, written on red paper soaked in fragrance which were signed, ‘with unconditio­nal love from your compassion­ate companion – your romantic scorpio’. In one note, he wrote: ‘You will regret it later on when you notice how truly kind I am.

‘We’ve already missed out on two decades of loving relations. I don’t want to miss another week without you in my life.’

after hearing of his behaviour, judge Noel Lucas QC admitted in a previous hearing: ‘He frightens me.’ But yesterday the judge spared Ii jail after hearing that the man, who has asperger’s syndrome, had never been in a romantic relationsh­ip and suffers from an ‘intimacy seeking’ condition.

appearing via videolink from HMP Pentonvill­e, where he has been held for seven and a half months since his arrest, Ii wept yesterday as he apologised to Miss Harris. His voice wavering, he told the judge at London’s Wood Green Crown Court: ‘I just wanted you to know I do not have any history of threats or any sexual history.

‘I just want to make sure you know that and that I would find it distressin­g to wear a tag. I totally apologise I never meant to cause any distress and I’m so remorseful.’ Ii booked reiki sessions with the star’s mother Carmen Harris last october. after two sessions, he told the healer that he was meant to be with her daughter and started sending her emails declaring he had a right to declare his love.

He then turned up on the star’s doorstep in north London on February 29 this year clutching a blue velvet jewellery box.

Terrified, the actress was left shaking and in fear for her life.

judge Lucas told the man: ‘[Miss Harris] described herself having a panic attack and hyperventi­lating. she felt you were a real danger.

‘she was forced to change her locks at her home, install an alarm system. she was absolutely petrified. she genuinely believed you were going to come inside the house and harm her.

‘she says she is struggling to sleep. she said she’ll always be looking over her shoulder until she knows that you can’t harm her.’ When police arrested Ii he was living in a barn near Canterbury. They discovered letters from other celebritie­s rebuffing his advances, as well as women’s clothing and a large dossier he had compiled on Miss Harris including 49 photos of the oscar-nominated actress, her home and monitoring of her public appearance­s.

Ii admitted two stalking charges against the star and her mother and was handed a 21month prison sentence suspended for two years.

an indefinite restrainin­g order was imposed to prevent any contact with the two victims. The defendant will wear a GPs tag for the next year and must not travel more than 20 miles from his new home in Dorset. He will also receive ‘psychologi­cal interventi­on’ from a stalking centre.
