Jennings, of Stock, Essex, had told Ms Williams she was "marked" in anonymous letters, and threatened her dog with harm, a court heard.He told police during an interview that he had targeted the woman because her story of "glamour and glory" had "struck a nerve" - and he found her LinkedIn posts "condescending".READ MORE: Stalker told victim 'I'm going to f****** mutilate you and make your daughter watch'READ MORE: Tinder stalker convicted after fake profile of ex-girlfriend used to lure men to her homeJennings sent six anonymous letters to Ms Williams between January and August 2025, Woolwich Crown Court heard, containing detailed information about her business and family. In one letter, the court was told, he called her a "total tramp", and in another he included a picture of a dartboard and wrote: "You are marked, darling."In a later letter he included a photo of her puppy and wrote “be extra careful when out with your little pup, anything could happen in that situation”.Ms Williams later informed police, and Jennings was identified as a suspect. While he wasn't known to her, the accountant later discovered messages and comments from him dating back to 2020. She later said in a statement that the "taunting" letters had impacted her financially and personally.She was left in constant fear and worried for the safety of her family, and was led to make an expensive decision to relocate her business.Speaking of the impact, she said: “I no longer go on dog walks alone and have to be accompanied by my husband as I’m terrified. Jennings’ actions have caused me to fundamentally change how I operate my business and personal life."The court was told Jennings had sent the letters while on bail on suspicion of having raised false invoices and diverted genuine payments into his bank account while working at Camberwell Green Surgery. It was said he carried out the fraud over a six-year period, after reaching the limits on his credit card accounts and amid large child maintenance payments.He was rumbled when, after he left the surgery in 2019, the new practice manager noticed suspicious payments and instructed a financial audit which revealed he had stolen £151,841, prosecutor Michaela Onuchukwu said.Jennings was arrested in 2023 and released on bail. Edward Fenner, defending, said his client was extremely remorseful for both the stalking and fraud offences. He has already made a £32,000 repayment to the surgery and intends to release equity from property to repay the rest.Mr Fenner said: “He was paying a large amount of maintenance for two children, he was commuting a long distance for work and had maxed out his credit cards.“With that difficulty in mind, he turned to fraud and it became easy to do so.” Judge Philip Shorrock noted that Jennings had previous convictions for similar offending which dated back 20 years. The judge said Jennings had been in a considerable position of trust as he managed the practice’s finances.Regarding the stalking offence, Judge Shorrock said it must have been “very distressing” for Ms Williams. The judge sentenced Jennings to two years and four months in prison on May 7 after admitting fraud by abuse of position and stalking.Article continues belowHe also ordered Jennings to repay the remaining £120,000 in the next 12 months.
