A former BBC DJ who was branded the 'Jimmy Savile of trolling' by his stalking victim Jeremy Vine has been released early from behind bars.
Alex Belfield was jailed for five years in September 2022, after he waged a relentless stalking campaign against the Radio 2 host as well as other broadcasters.
Vine described the ex BBC Radio Leeds DJ the 'Jimmy Saville of trolling' after being subjected 'an avalanche of hatred' by Belfield who repeatedly sent him abusive messages, videos and emails.
Belfield, of Mapperley, was convicted of stalking to cause alarm and distress to BBC Radio Northampton's Bernie Keith, and guilty of the same charge concerning videographer Ben Hewis.
He was further found guilty of 'simple stalking' regarding theatre blogger Philip Dehany and to the 'simple stalking' of presenter and broadcaster Jeremy Vine.
