Stalker's ploy to 'destroy' man's life with fake social media accounts

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A stalker set out to "destroy" a man's life by sending various messages to his girlfriend and married women pretending to be him.

Ian, who requested to be referred to by only his first name, told how Annika Sands, 37, made his life a misery after she began stalking him online and waiting outside of the gym he attended.

Sands, from Birkenhead, set up "hundreds" of fake social media accounts which she used to message Ian, his friends and his family, including his mother.

Liverpool Echo reports that it was only after Ian reported Sands to the police that he discovered that she had also made a police statement against him, claiming that he was her boyfriend and he was abusing her.
