Her stalker was locked up for 20 months in September after breaching the terms of his restraining order - after being found outside the student's flat with blades
A teenager was"petrified" after her driving instructor turned into a stalker - creating a TikTok dedicated to her and paying dark web hackers to access her socials.A court heard he showered Maisie with gifts, created fake social media accounts to 'catfish' her and even paid dark web hackers.
Despite her past experiences, brave Maisie decided to start learning to drive again with female instructor Jenny Williams.And, after taking her test in secret, she passed - which she says has given her closure."It's really put a full stop after him. It was such a great thing to do."Nobody expected me to take my test. They were totally gobsmacked. I didn't tell a soul I was taking it. I didn't want the pressure.
"I'd like to reassure anyone in a similar situation just to keep strong, determined and resilient, try to keep doing the things you want to do and find ways to do them safely."She had tried going back to driving lessons with a new instructor in January but found she had to quit over her ordeal.Maisie then stopped trying to book and attend lessons in May, while the case was going through court.
She said:"My exam was the first time I'd been on my own with a man in the car [since]. It was very scary."It brought back such a lot of memories of things Graham had done and said. I think that and the test were equally frightening.
