A jealous
girlfriend who posed as a fake police officer for more than two
years to control her ex-boyfriend and ban him from seeing other women has been
jailed.
According to a
Police report, Jilted Lauren Adderley, 21, used "sophisticated catfish
style behaviour" to manipulate her former partner Mitchell Lloyd, 22,
following a short fling in 2014. She made him
believe he was subject to curfews, which restricted him from going to certain
places and seeing other women.
The court
heard that it ‘completely ruined’ his social life. Adderley of
Telford, Shropshire, pretended to be various officers to stop Mr. Lloyd from
seeing his own friends as well as other girls and threatened him with legal
action if he did not comply.
The
21-year-old would also pretend to be her own friends and chastise him for
seeing women when he tried to start up new relationships. Shrewsbury
Crown Court heard the former administrations assistant who lost her job had
entered into a brief sexual relationship with Mr. Lloyd in September 2014. But the young
man broke it off two months later after she told him she had previously been
the victim of a crime.
She asked
whether he would be willing to provide a statement of the offence, at which
point she started to take on the persona of the police officer ‘Robert Hay’ Between
December 2014 and February 13 this year, Adderley persistently contacted her
victim using three email addresses belonging to fictional officers. She also
created two fake Facebook accounts pretending to be her own friends, and used
them to repeatedly criticise him for engaging in relationships with other
girls.
At one stage,
when Mr. Lloyd started seeing a colleague from the store he worked at, Adderley
grabbed a pair of scissors and told him: ‘That she would kill herself, and it
would be his fault’. The next day,
a fake officer told him to immediately end the relationship, before Laura
herself texted him to say: ‘No one can ever love you like I love you x.’
Her former
lover said he was left feeling ‘terrorised’, and became ‘isolated from his
friends and depressed’. He eventually
went to report the issue to the police in February of this year after confiding
in work mates. Prosecuting
officer, Dafydd Roberts, told the court ‘On one occasion, Mr. Mitchell wanted
to take own mother and his young daughter out for lunch.
‘They attended
a public house together. However, he received an email from Robert Hay saying
that he was breaking an order by doing so, and was threatened with a sanction.
‘He was told
that he could be fined around £3,000 for wasting police time, and that he would
be fined around £15,000 if Laura Adderley’s case did not succeed.’
The court was
told that after a while Mr. Lloyd received an email from another police
officer, ‘Darren Clarke’.The officer
claimed they had taken over the case due to Robert Hay’s personal connection to
Ms. Adderley, and the same pattern continued. Another
fictitious person, ‘Elaine Thomas’ who was supposedly a senior police officer,
then took over the case. Genuine
officers were immediately able to deduce that the emails were fake, and traced
them back to Adderley.
Adderley who
was later arrested, admitted to impersonating a police officer and stalking.
She was jailed on Friday for nine months at Shrewsbury Crown.
