## Key points

- The jury heard he targeted them after a 2024 report.
- He faces up to ten years in prison.

## Summary

Tommy Robinson has been found guilty of harassing two Daily Mail journalists after a jury heard he used social media and phone calls to intimidate them following a report about his role during the 2024 UK riots. The verdict matters because the jury concluded that his conduct crossed into criminal harassment, causing the reporters to fear for their safety and their families.

Prosecutors said Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, sent photographers to the journalists’ homes and shared related images online. The court heard he told one reporter, “I’ll be knocking on your door”, and another, “I’m coming to get you”; he denied the charges, saying he did not mean physical violence. He faces a possible sentence of up to ten years and is due to be sentenced on 16 December.
