Overview
- A jury at Birmingham Crown Court found Windsor, 61, guilty of stalking Myleene Klass and Katie Breathwick, returning unanimous verdicts after four hours and eight minutes of deliberation.
- The campaign ran from 2020 to 2024 and involved dozens of letters and parcels, including an air pistol, handcuffs, a police uniform and a DIY will-writing kit, with the air pistol intercepted by Royal Mail.
- West Midlands Police said up to around 100 items were sent in escalating behavior that prompted added security at the presenters’ workplace and changes to routines, with both women describing terror and distress.
- Windsor, who has a longstanding diagnosis of schizophrenia, advanced an insanity defense; agreed facts also noted letters to Nicola Sturgeon, including one described as signed in blood, which led to a 2023 arrest without prosecution.
- After the conviction, regional officials issued guidance urging stalking victims to preserve messages, keep records and use “mute not block” on social media to help evidence gathering.
