Breaking news from court. theJeremyVine was among the victims
A jury convicted YouTube radio host Alex Belfield of stalking four victims including BBC broadcaster Jeremy Vine and Northampton BBC Radio's Bernie Keith. Belfield, 42, of Shaldon Close in Mapperley, had opted not to give evidence in his defence before giving a closing speech last week, claiming he was a whistle-blower who had seen two-and-a-half years of his life “torn apart” by police inquiries.
Count 7: Philip Dehany, not guilty to stalking to cause alarm and distress but guilty to simple stalking Meanwhile, Mr Keith used to do stand-up comedy events, including some for charity, but the jury had heard his live shows stopped because, Mr Keith claimed, Belfield had an "obsession" with him promoting the live shows on his radio show.
During his speech, Belfield denied making death threats to anyone, adding: “I think lockdown made it fun to close me down… because I am the only person in lockdown who actually became more successful. “That’s what this is. Why would you wade into something that’s nothing to do with you?” Accusing complainants including Mr Vine of subjecting him to a “pile-on” to shut him down, Belfield added: “Instead of accepting my opinion… they wanted it closed down.
