A stalker who sent “incessant emails and tweets” to the scientist who setup PCR testing during the coronavirus pandemic has been jailed, reports BBC Isle of Man.
Ramsey man Courtenay Heading was found guilty of targeting Dr Rachel Glover.
Douglas Courthouse heard Heading harassed her with messages, some of which compared her to Nazi medics.
Jailing Heading, 66, for eight months, Deemster James Brooks said it was “hard to conceive of a worse case of stalking” short of physical contact.
A victim impact statement written by Dr Glover was read to the court.
The scientist, who was pregnant throughout much of the harassment, said Heading’s behaviour made her anxious and paranoid, and she put up cameras and alarms at her home.
