A judge sentenced Alex Belfield to over five years in prison after he 'weaponised the internet' against multiple broadcasters, including Jeremy Vine.

Alex Belfield was found guilty after a trial at Nottingham Crown Court last month of waging a relentless stalking campaign against broadcasters, with Vine in particular being subjected to an “avalanche of hatred”.TV and radio host Vine labelled 42-year-old Belfield “the Jimmy Savile of trolling” during a trial which heard he repeatedly posted or sent abusive messages, videos and emails.

Jurors convicted Belfield, of Mapperley, Nottingham, of four charges committed between 2012 and 2021. He added a pre-sentence report showed while Belfield “fully acknowledges the distress to victims” it also “highlights you still appear to focus on the impact on you and feel in certain respects you’ve been unfairly treated”.
