Ex-BBC DJ Alex Belfield has been sentenced to over five years in prison after being found guilty of stalking broadcasters, including TV presenter Jeremy Vine, in a sickening hate campaign.
According to The Mirror, the 42-year-old was handed five years and 26 weeks in prison by Nottingham Crown Court on Friday, after being labelled the "Jimmy Savile of trolling” during the trial in August.
Alex will serve half on all four charges he was convicted of, with all four of his victims being granted restraining orders by the judge, Nottingham Live reports. Jurors accepted Belfield caused serious alarm or distress to two victims and was found guilty of “simple” stalking in relation to Channel 5 and BBC Radio 2 presenter Mr Vine and theatre blogger Philip Dehany.
