'Disgraceful' Nottinghamshire stalker set up fake TikTok accounts and made woman's life 'hell'

A stalker made his former partner's life "hell" as he set up fake TikTok accounts and bombarded her with emails, including a picture of himself with a noose around his neck. Daryl Horn-Hooper's alarming campaign began on Christmas Eve, 2021, after she left him, Nottingham Crown Court heard on Monday, July 11.

She moved to a women's refuge but Horn-Hooper sent her 26 voicemails and 200 emails, made comments on her online blog and personal comments on her Facebook account. "She described how the messages made her feel unhappy, and like she was, 'cracking up'," explained Lauren Fisher, prosecuting.

Horn-Hooper would not stop calling her on a withheld number and continued sending emails - to the tune of 32 emails from 11.20am and 10.20pm in just one day. And he threatened to kill himself in a TikTok video he sent to her in an email.
