A 19-year-old student from Aberdare, Wales, Sasha-Jay Davies, has been awarded £10,000 in damages following a High Court battle against a persistent online impersonator who stole her identity to deceive thousands of social media users.
The settlement marks a significant moment in the fight against online identity theft in the UK, as the defendant, Elha Mai Weston, admitted to a four-year campaign of harassment that involved creating fake profiles on platforms including Tinder, Instagram, and TikTok.
