Actress's obsessed female stalker who sent her messages saying she would be raped is jailed

There is a general view that personal threats of violence are not protected free speech

Holby City star Rosie Marcel was told she would be raped and killed in a campaign of intimidation and abuse by a super-fan.

Sarah Rumbelow, 21, has been jailed for two and a half years after she sent hateful emails, tweets, messages and letters to Miss Marcel, who plays surgeon Jac Naylor in the BBC drama.

Rumbelow was completely obsessed with the pretty actress and spent almost a year abusing her in 2011.

To cover her tracks she set up bogus e-mail addresses from where she sent many sick messages.

But after the terrified star called in the police  detectives were able to establish Rumbelow was behind them.

The 21-year-old, of Brockley, London pleaded guilty at St Albans Crown Court to putting a person in fear of violence by harassment.

Another crazy liberal nutcase

There's "Free Speech" and then there's "Harassment." This woman crossed that rather vague and gray line between the two.

So now the comments here don't declare (as so often before) that's there's no "free speech" in Britain?!!

Threatening violence against someone is a crime, and crimes are not protected by "free speech".

Brits do not have free speech, (or common sense) but censored speech. It's not the same. Instead of free speech, they have opted for political correctness.

Yes, go ahead and pretend that "free speech" works in the US (which even according to these posts it doesn't often), and then be a blatent liar and pretend (like 3:19) that Brits do not have the concepts of free speech or a very superior legal system.
The US even got all their legal system from the UK in the first place)

The guy was so stupid. Had he simply ended all correspondence with "Praise Allah!", this would not have been an issue in the UK.
