Stalker who 'Googled’ his victim 40,000 times is jailed

A stalker who would not stop terrorising his victim was jailed for two years yesterday after a court heard he had sent her an anniversary card celebrating the sixth year of his restraining order.

Elliot Fogel, a television producer, posted the card to Claire Waxman while he was on bail awaiting sentence for the third breach of the court order, it was alleged.



During a campaign of harassment stretching over almost nine years, he broke into his former classmate’s car, made hundreds of late-night phone calls to her home and looked her up using the internet search engine Google more than 40,000 times in one year.



Judge Ian Darling told the former freelance Sky Sports News producer: “You have plagued her life for many years and you have literally ruined it, you have mentally terrorised her over many many years and her life will never be and can never be the same. Your actions have not affected just her they have impacted on her family, her children and her friends so widespread and calculating has your behaviour been.’’



Julie Whitby, prosecuting, told Inner London Crown Court that Fogel, 37, was on police bail for sending the anniversary card to Mrs Waxman, 36, on January 16.

Took long enough!

He's never going to leave her alone. She needs to get a gun and lure him into her home. Once he steps inside, she should shoot and kill this intruder and claim self defense. Does my plan sound terrible to you? Well, think about it. The only way she will be safe from this psycho is if he's dead.

I agree with what you said about how stalking is just a prelude for worse to come but as a solution luring someone to their death isn't self-defense. You're inviting someone with the sole intent of murdering them.

Aileen Wuornos acted in similar ways luring dangerous men, murdering them, and claiming self-defense.

Doing nothing is luring yourself to death.

Only this is all happening in the UK and I don't think you can just start shooting people like that there. I also agree with FD, that's murder, not self-defence.

Well that's just human nature. If something is bothering you, make sure it never bothers you again. Like, in a book i just finished reading. This boy got into a fight with another boy and after he already knocked him out, he still kept hitting him because he knew if he didn't completely destroy him, it would just happen over and over again. He ended up killing him.
