After a campaign of harassment against multiple victims, Alex Belfield was jailed last week. The former BBC radio presenter, of Mapperley, can be seen smirking in his police mugshot after targeting former colleagues, a well-known celebrity, and two other men online.
Belfield had previously objected to this hateful conduct, but, following a trial at Nottingham Crown Court, he was convicted of four counts of stalking. Two of which included causing alarm and distress.
On Friday, 16 September, Belfield, was jailed for five years and 26 weeks. Over the four week trial, the court heard how the former presenter was set about undermining the career of a former colleague with hurtful and untrue comments Belfield directed via email, social media and via his YouTube channel, following a series of workplace disputes.
