Alleged Stalker Sent Klass Air Pistol 'as a Joke'
Peter Windsor allegedly sent unwanted gifts and disturbing letters to both presenters over several years, causing security concerns, prosecutor said at Birmingham Crown Court.
- On Monday a jury of 10 men and two women were sworn at Birmingham Crown Court to hear the case against Peter Windsor, 61, who denies two stalking charges.
- A string of unwanted items and letters prompted Klass's management to raise safety concerns after parcels and letters, including costumes and jewellery, were intercepted last year.
- A package intercepted before delivery contained an air pistol and a note calling her a `naughty vixen` and inviting her to `correct` him with a `whip and a cane`, while police found maps of London, black leather gloves, women's stockings and binoculars at Windsor's home.
- The court heard the items made the women fear for their safety at work and at home, with security staff escorting one presenter and her later suffering a panic attack.
- Psychiatrists are set to give evidence as the court weighs claims of insanity against prosecution allegations of obsessional behaviour, with Windsor denying offences and the defence citing his schizophrenia diagnosis.
