Stalker Alex Belfield speaks in court as he is banned from contacting 2 more people

"The Jimmy Savile of trolling" Alex Belfield, a former BBC radio presenter and vlogger has been hit with another court order banning contact with a married couple. Belfield was jailed last September after he was found guilty of waging a relentless stalking campaign against BBC Radio Northampton's Bernie Keith, and subjecting TV presenter Jeremy Vine to an "avalanche of hatred".

The 43-year-old was jailed for five years and 26 weeks. On Thursday (June 1) Belfield, of Shaldon Close in Mapperley, appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court, via video link from HMP Stocken in Rutland, East Midlands.

District Judge Sunil Khanna made a stalking protection order preventing him from contacting a man he had sent a tweet to and his wife. The order prevents Belfield from contacting or attempting to contact Greg Scott or his wife Karen Scott, or publish or attempt to publish any material relating to them.
