Mum hassled by men looking for 'sexual favours' after stalker ex posted her on swingers website

A mum who was advertised on a swinging website just weeks after turning down a bedsheet proposal has spoken out about how one man managed to destroy her life in a matter of months.

Louise McManaman, from Rainford, began seeing Ian Blackburn in November 2021 before ending the relationship in January 2022. After she ended the relationship, Blackburn proposed to her using bedsheets that were displayed on the East Lancs Road, previously reported in the ECHO.

What followed was months of stalking, which has led to Louise removing her business from the internet and listing her house for sale in an attempt to distance herself from her ex-partner. Blackburn then proceeded to stalk and list Louise's information on a website called 'Fab Swingers' which led to her receiving a number of explicit images from strangers, as heard in court on Wednesday, February 8.
