Overview
- Mordaunt told the jury she felt vulnerable and drained as emails, calls and a barrier jump at her office escalated the contact.
- Prosecutor Robert Bryan said the alleged conduct constitutes stalking involving severe harm or distress.
- CCTV evidence showed a December 2023 attempt to leap office barriers that set off alarms before security escorted her to her car.
- After a police warning, Brandt admitted sending messages but emailed a late birthday wish in March and in May said he would keep knocking until he could shake her hand.
- Mordaunt detailed new security measures at her office and home and the impact on staff and a foster child, while the court heard Brandt is a Conservative Party member from the Isle of Wight who was not her constituent; the trial continues.
