Overview

• The court heard Peter Windsor told police he posted an air pistol "as a joke" and sent letters calling Myleene Klass a "naughty vixen" with requests to be punished with a whip and a cane.
• Prosecutors said Katie Breathwick received numerous letters and gifts over years, including binoculars and running shoes, and that she suffered panic attacks after messages that included a proposal to go paddling with both women outside Buckingham Palace while drinking champagne.
• Windsor, 61, denies two counts of stalking causing serious alarm or distress, alleged to have occurred between March 2020 and August 2024 and involving parcels and letters intercepted by workplace security.
• A jury was sworn at Birmingham Crown Court as Judge Tom Rochford warned against online research and said psychiatric evidence will feature because the defendant claims he was insane at the time.
• The court was told the defense argues the conduct does not amount to stalking and alleges a publicity stunt, which prosecutors reject, saying the complainants tried to avoid publicity.
