| Red Rose Database
Malling Emotional/Psychological Verbal Abuser Cyberbully
Ian Warrwick, a 64-year-old resident originally from Egerton, has been found guilty of persistent harassment directed at his neighbors, Nicholas and Elizabeth Stansfield, over a period spanning nearly three years. The case highlights a troubling pattern of behavior that included false accusations, aggressive social media activity, and direct confrontations.
Warrwick accused the Stansfields of vandalizing his vehicle, claiming to possess video evidence showing them letting down his car tyres. Despite these claims, police investigations revealed that the damage was actually caused by a youth, who was cautioned for the incident, not the Stansfield couple. Warrwick, however, refused to accept this evidence and continued to publicly accuse the couple of wrongdoing. His harassment extended to sending abusive text messages, making derogatory comments on Facebook, and approaching the victims in person, urging them to admit guilt.
The harassment began in January 2020 and persisted until October 2023, despite police advisories instructing Warrwick to cease all contact. Elizabeth Stansfield later provided a victim impact statement, describing the significant stress and fear caused by Warrwick’s relentless actions. She recounted how her concerns for safety led her to install CCTV cameras around her property.
Warrwick’s misconduct was not limited to online abuse; it also included physical confrontations and aggressive behavior towards the victims. His actions culminated in a court case at Maidstone Magistrates’ Court, where he was convicted of two counts of harassment without violence. The court sentenced him to a 12-month community order, which includes 20 rehabilitation sessions, a fine of £180, a victim surcharge of £114, and court costs amounting to £650. Additionally, Warrwick was issued a five-year restraining order prohibiting him from contacting the victims or approaching their residence. The court also advised him to “draw a line” under the incident and move forward.
It was noted that Warrwick has a history of previous convictions, including criminal damage and assault. Following the case, he moved from his address in Egerton after selling his house. The case underscores the serious consequences of prolonged harassment, especially when driven by unfounded accusations and continued despite police intervention. Warrwick’s behavior serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting legal boundaries and the impact of persistent harassment on victims.
