The evil court of Rob Kitting found Alexandra Saber with a plot to kidnap and “GO 50 Shades of Gray” on the influence of the American social media after he became obsessed with
A “fake” British chaser faces imprisonment after being convicted of threatening to kidnap an American travel influence and then travel to her home in Bali with a rope in his bag.
Rob Kitting sent “continuous and fixed” messages to Alexandra Saber, in which he participated in his graphic sexual imaginations, including “he will go to 50 gray shades” and wanted to kidnap them. The 39 -year -old went from “the follower to a chase” after she became obsessed with her Instagram participation, where she booked one ticket to the Indonesian Equatorial Paradise while warning her not to “obtain kidnapping insurance.”
He visited bars and restaurants a few meters away from her home and continued to send a message to her while she was in Bali, and told her, “You never get rid of me.” Mrs. Saber – the former lawyer who is now making money from her Instagram page “The Wayfarer”, which includes more than 100,000 followers – told the court that she fled the country because she was very “terrified”.
In a video of her ordeal, she posted at the time, Mrs. Saber also said that she felt that she had “caught like prey.” Upon his return to the United Kingdom in March 2023, Keature was arrested by the police who found a black rope and a tie in his bag.
Kitting told the police in an interview that he was not sexually attracted to Mrs. Saber, but he said, “I showed interest in him and there could be something between the two. In the videos, he often referred to the influencer as” Queen of the austere. “
The leg of Mrs. Saber continued between September and November 2024, and at this stage he lived in Horhamshah in West Sussex. Keature posted a photo of a plane ticket from London to Bali with the “Round 2” illustrations on Instagram in November.
Keature was later arrested. Now, in the Portsmouth Crown Court, Hunts, he was convicted of two accusations of chase that involves serious or distress after a 6 -day trial.
The jury traded for only two hours, and when reading the judgment on Kitting, Judge Michael Powers Ki Cen said the prison sentence is “inevitable.” With the case closed, Prosecutor Alexandra Paul Kitting described as “indulging” in “deliberate self -illusion”, which includes a “one dimensions” version of the influencer while “moved from the follower to a chase.”
She said: “He began to indulge in deliberate self -deception, all of these real feelings that he felt from the follow -up was not enough.” “The person who started to imagine was completely one, as he is a character he never met …
“It is its function to make people feel better towards themselves, but this is just one part of MS Saper … when MS Saper's public publications were not enough for him, he wanted to transfer him to the next level.
“What he wanted is her attention to him.” And her job is to attract a broader audience and knows this is deliberate.
“Does this justify his behavior, as he provides himself with an excuse, trying to persuade himself, Mrs. Saber, who is trying to contact him, he is just his imagination.” The traffic worker, who lived in his sister's garage in Havant, Hunts, for the first time, Mrs. Saber, called Instagram in July 2022 with a “strange and creeping” message “the elegant influence” responded to, why do you follow me if you do not like my content. “
Keature was prevented on the social media platform after participating excerpts from the exciting S&M novel of 50 shades of gray. However, then he began to bomb her with videos and messages via email and used another file to continue viewing its posts, which I think are secret messages for him.
Mrs. Saber tried to block his emails as well, but this just sent her to her random folder. The court was shown for an hour of these videos that told Keature that MS Saper obtained “kidnapping insurance” and that he would have been “beaten.”
He told her that she “allows him” to run with her “with regard to his communication with her, but he added:” Either that, or you are not interested and do not watch these videos and lost my mind or something. “In a video of December 2022, Keature said:” You will have to respond to me in the end – there is a talk about coming to my mind to get you. “
In February 2023, he traveled to Bali, and posted a picture of the plane that was about to climb with the explanatory name “Let Games start”. Mrs. Saber was so concerned that she fled to the country of Laos in Southeast Asia to put the distance between her and Kitting.
Evidence in the court provided the influencer said that she “does not think” that he will actually take the trip to the tropical island. Ms. Saber added: “I prevented him from everything and never responded, so this was a clear indication of the unwillingness to communicate.”
She said, “I was aware that he was talking about coming to Bali, but I didn't think this would have happened. I participated because I wanted to return my life, there was nothing that I could do in hiding.” “I was sick, I couldn't eat, I was depressed.”
In his own evidence, Kitting tried to ask that kidnapping threats were just a “fun irony” and that the ordeal had no “negative impact” on MS Saper. He tried to tell the court that due to the profitable anems in his Instagram file, there was no way to take it seriously.
He will be judged at a later time.
