"He had pleaded guilty to stalking at Liverpool Magistrates' Court in December. Passing sentence, Judge Hina Rai told him: "The nature and tone of the highly sexualised content was distressing and caused her to be fearful of her surroundings and affected her daily life." Prosecutor David Burns told the court Dalal also sent explicit messages and told Hobinger he wanted to have babies with her. The stress of the situation led to a flare-up of a skin condition she had suffered, the court heard."
"In her victim impact statement, she said: "This incident has meant I now struggle to sleep. At home, she said she becomes " anxious and scared - any noise, I fear the male may have found out where I lived. "When it is dark I found myself looking over my shoulder. I know I was safe, but felt anxiety and rushed inside.""
Mangal Dalal, 42, of Marylebone sent pictures of underwear and sexually explicit Instagram messages to Liverpool midfielder Marie Hobinger, including that he wanted to rip her shorts off and have babies with her. Dalal pleaded guilty to stalking and received a two-year restraining order, an 18-month community order, £650 costs and a £114 victim surcharge. The messages caused Hobinger anxiety, sleep problems, a flare-up of a skin condition, and changes to daily routines; she avoided mixing with fans on matchdays and felt her performance on the pitch was affected. A judge described the content as highly sexualised and distressing.
