Some of London’s most obsessive stalkers include a paedophile who stood outside the bedroom of an 11-year-old girl, two Met Police officers who should have known better, and a man who was caught snorting cocaine in his victim’s thong
Turning up at your workplace, sitting at a bus stop outside your house, constantly ringing and texting you. It might sound like the storyline to a Netflix show, but just like Martha in Richard Gadd’s Baby Reindeer, stalkers are real, and they can be just as relentless and terrifying.
From the Met Police officer whose job was to work in the safeguarding unit helping victims of stalking but he turned out to be a stalker himself, to a convicted stalker who raided a woman’s house with a crossbow. All sharing an unrequited lust, these are the creeps and predators who refused to take no for an answer.
Some of these stalkers paid the price by losing their jobs, or going to jail, while many have been banned from ever contacting their victim again. If you want to read about the real life Marthas in London, here are the faces of 10 convicted stalkers below.
