The complainant [Al-Thani] was staying in Doha and began to receive a number of calls. Abousalah also visited the princess's UK address and tried to give a member of staff flowers for her, the court heard. The complainant said that the fact that it was her address left her feeling frightened, Burns said.
Al-Thani became so concerned about Abousalah's behaviour that she asked her husband to hire private security. She said the whole incident has caused her alarm and distress. She has said she could not go about her normal day-to-day life.
He had an ill-formed view that he was in a relationship with the princess, he said. He divorced his wife because he genuinely held that belief.
Judge Cieciora said she had carefully considered the contents of a medical report before sentencing Abousalah, and that his behaviour had caused the victim very serious distress.
