Claire Foy being pursued by a stalker

A stalker is ruining the life of Claire Foy, 37, the actress who played the young Queen Elizabeth in the first two seasons of the Netflix series The Crown. The British media said that in November and December, Foy was forced to be harassed by a man, culminating in a thrilling evening. On December 17, in fact, he had to call the police why if he found it outside the front door.

The actress, who in addition to various awards has also won a Golden Globe, has also lived the experience of stalking on the big screen, having starred in the psychological thriller Unsane by Steven Soderbergh, where she was haunted by a man obsessed with her. Unfortunately, however, this time the mishap is real.

The man accused of being the molester is called Jason Penrose and is 38 years old. In the past few months she has shipped several raving emails to Emma Jackson, Claire Foy’s press officer, in which she wrote about the actress who would be raped, who should have been engaged to him, or who prostituted herself and that, if she was attacked, her career would somehow benefit from it . Concerned by their violent and explicit content, the reporter forwarded the emails to the Foy agent, who had already received them from Penrose himself, before blocking him.

Finally, the terrible December evening, with the harasser who has come to ring the doorbell repeatedly. At this point, after the police report, the London magistrates of the Highbury Corner court intervened and imposed on Jason Penrose a “stalking protection order” (SPO) which prohibits the alleged offender from contacting Claire Foy and her press officer, as well as to get close to their homes, workplaces and wherever they might be. Pending the final sentence expected for 30 June, any violation can be immediately prosecuted as a crime.

Judge Amanda Gibbon, who issued the ban on Jason Penrose, explained that the decision was made after considering the escalation of harassing actions of the stalker, who went from increasingly explicit emails to showing up at the victim’s door.

Fortunately, the judge’s intervention was timely, also because the actress immediately realized she was in danger. The lawyer Giulia Bongiorno, who deals with harassment with the Double Defense association, says that women, even famous ones, initially tend to underestimate the problem: “For one to speak of the crime of stalking, it is sufficient that the persecutory acts have a destabilizing effect of the serenity and psychological balance of the victim “. Serenity that has failed in the life of Claire Foy and that has convinced Judge Gibbon to intervene as soon as possible.
