Stalker who sent Foy 1,000 emails told to stay away

A STALKER who sent Claire Foy more than 1,000 emails has been banned from contacting her for five years.

Jason Penrose, 39, also attended The Crown actress’s address and contacted her sister in November and December last year.

Penrose, who gave his address as Highgate Mental Health Centre, was accompanied by NHS workers at Highbury Corner magistrates’ court in London yesterday, where a full stalking protection order was granted.

The five-year order prohibits Penrose from directly or indirectly contacting Foy and going to where she works or lives. There is also an exclusion zone covering all but five districts in the London borough of Camden.

He must also tell police of any device that can access the internet, social media accounts and telephones, allowing officers “reasonable access” to them.

District Judge Michael Oliver said: “I am sure based on the evidence Mr Penrose has carried out acts associated with stalking. Thousands of emails were sent to Ms Foy and on one occasion he attended her address.”
