Comedy writer Graham Linehan called a trans teenager a “domestic terrorist” and “deeply disturbed sociopath” in a series of “vindictive” messages posted online, a court has heard.
The Father Ted co-creator appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Thursday for a trial, accused of harassing trans woman Sophia Brooks. Giving evidence, Ms Brooks said his posts had left her “worried for her safety” after Linehan allegedly shared images of her with his half a million followers on X.
