Tommy Robinson begins his harassment trial over allegations of threatening journalists and posting photographs of their homes online.
Tommy Robinson’s court case has opened with a damning allegations, as the court is told how his alleged intimidatory tactics in doxxing and confronting journalists caused them to fear for their lives.
The Accusations
The far-right agitator, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, allegedly telephoned MailOnline reporter Andrew Young, telling him, “I’m coming to get you,” and is also alleged to have sent another MailOnline journalist, Jacob Dirnhuber, a direct message saying: “I’ll be knocking at your door.”
Prosecutor Ben Holt said: “The prosecution say this defendant – using bully-boy, intimidatory tactics – threatened the journalists.”
He is also accused of hiring photographers to take photos of their homes, which he subsequently shared online. The MailOnline employees are said to have taken numerous safety precautions, including hiring security and even going to the extreme of leaving their homes.
This is not the first time Robinson has faced allegations of intimidatory practices. This year, Channel 4 broadcast an investigation titled Tommy Robinson: Where’s the Money Gone?, in which journalist Matt Shea sought to uncover details of the far-right figure’s financial practices, leading him to whistleblowers, including former associates who had turned against him.
Using a private detective, Robinson reportedly responded to the documentary by turning up at Shea’s door to confront him. In a transcript from a podcast he appeared on, Robinson said: “We’ve been staking him out for five days here.”
Yaxley-Lennon Could Face Prison Time
Robinson has pleaded not guilty yo the charges, and if convicted, could face up to 10 years in prison. The case is still ongoing.
