US EditionEmily Maitlis serial stalker jailed for breaching restraining order
- Edward Vines received a five-year prison sentence today at Nottingham Crown Court for violating a restraining order by sending letters from prison to Emily Maitlis and her family.
- The restraining order, imposed on September 5, 2022, followed nearly 30 years of harassment including previous convictions for 28 offences mostly related to breaching this order.
- Vines, aged 55, acted as his own defence, denied some breaches, and sent more than 20 letters over 10 months, some intercepted at HMP Lowdham Grange where he was serving a sentence.
- Judge Mark Watson called the case "an extreme case" and Emily Maitlis said Vines had "lost his whole life over this," while describing the harassment as feeling like a "chronic illness."
- The sentencing confirms ongoing legal action against stalking behaviour and highlights Vines's imprisonment as the only barrier currently preventing direct contact with Maitlis's family.
