Stalker left Liverpool star Marie Hobinger 'scared and anxious'
Mangal Dalal, 42, received an 18-month community order, two-year restraining order, and fines after sending sexual messages and causing distress to Marie Hobinger, Liverpool midfielder.
- On Tuesday, Westminster Magistrates' Court sentenced Mangal Dalal to a community order, a two-year restraining order, and ordered him to pay 650 in costs and 114 victim surcharge.
- Between January 27 and February 16 last year, the court heard that Dalal posted sexually explicit messages including his mobile number and postcode and travelled to an away fixture in Manchester, later pleading guilty at Liverpool Magistrates' Court in December.
- In a victim impact statement, she said the ordeal triggered sleeplessness, worsened a skin condition, changed her routines, made her avoid fans, and led Liverpool FC Women club safety officer to accompany her.
- In sentencing remarks, District Judge Hina Rai said the highly sexualised content caused Hobinger fear and affected her daily life, while the Crown Prosecution Service hopes awareness deters offenders.
- The defence and witnesses described Dalal as mentally unwell during a psychotic episode, displaying odd behaviour like preaching barefoot, while his ex-wife sought medical help and he asked Hobinger to visit him.
