A judge says Edward Vines faces a 'lengthy' prison term when he is sentenced in September
A man who stalked broadcaster Emily Maitlis has been found guilty of attempting to breach a restraining order for the 20th time.
A trial heard that in one of his letters to the journalist, the 52-year-old told her he would "continue to brood and to write letters in prison", unless she spoke to him about "her behaviour in 1990".The jury were told he "systematically and with increasing frequency" breached two separate restraining orders imposed on him in 2002 and 2009 - with 12 previous breaches to his name and seven separate prosecutions.
Prosecutor Ian Way spoke of the defendant's "insatiable desire" to speak with the BBC presenter while he was giving evidence - with Vines admitting he would send letters to her if he was freed from prison.Vines said he wanted the opportunity to talk to Ms Maitlis so he can "heal" For the final two of his previous breaches, Vines was jailed for three years after a judge said he feared there was "no sight of this ever ending" - describing the defendant's behaviour as a "life-long obsession".
