TERRORISED BY A STRANGER
A former soldier’s messages to BBC presenter Louise Minchin and her daughter ‘intended to maximise fear and distress’.
Carl Davies, 44, from Flintshire, was jailed for two years, eight months after stalking Louise and her teenage daughter through their social media accounts.
He posted ‘intimidating’ messages on their accounts in July 2020, which Louise said left her and her daughter both traumatised. In one message to Louise, he said, ‘Your daughter will definitely be raped.’ He also posted their home address and the cars that were in their driveway at the time, indicating he knew where they lived.
Judge Nicola Saffman said, ‘They still have a sense of deep distress one year on and the family still don’t feel safe.’
