Julia Wandelt, the 22-year-old Polish woman who went viral after insisting she was Madeleine McCann, has been found guilty of harassing the missing child's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, following a five-week trial at Leicester Crown Court.
While the jury acquitted her of stalking, they agreed her repeated messages, phone calls and visits amounted to harassment — concluding a case that reignited debate over viral identity claims and the emotional damage caused by online obsession.
