Several videos in which the Nottingham stalker Alex Belfield makes sexist remarks, including about one of his victims, are still on YouTube despite his recent prison sentence. Belfield, 42, of Mapperley, was recently sentenced to five and a half years for stalking four people, including BBC presenter Jeremy Vine, and had indefinite restraining orders imposed in relation to four other female victims.
Mr Vine has previously said that he has been "disgusted" by the way in which social media companies including YouTube have handled the case. Belfield was once a presenter on BBC Radio Leeds but after leaving because of what he described as a dispute over pay, he spent around a decade pursuing various other avenues in the media industry.
One of these was his YouTube channel, "The Voice of Reason", which he eventually earned money from. YouTube eventually demonetised Belfield's channel, but dozens of his videos still remain on the platform.
