A BBC tennis pundit has revealed the terrifying ordeal she endured at the hands of a crazed stalker who targeted her for almost a year after first pursuing her sister.
The former British tennis pro, Naomi Broady, whose brother is tennis star Liam Broady, was subjected to a relentless barrage of Facebook messages between January and December 2023, in what prosecutors described as a deeply disturbing harassment campaign.
David Richardson, 39, from Stockport, appeared before Manchester magistrates' court last month where he admitted stalking Naomi's sister, Emma, 37, for three years and harassing Naomi over a 12-month period.
Court documents reveal how Richardson sent 'multiple unwanted images and messages' via Facebook, as well as gifts, cards, and paintings.
The campaign, it said, caused Naomi 'serious harm and distress'.
