Well, she obviously isn't Madeleine.  But what can a UK Court do to her and where will she go next.

Up to 10 years in prison apparently, though that seems somewhat draconian to me.

Deportation would be an obvious option as she is a Polish nationa;.

But how would they hope to stop her if she contacts The McCanns from abroad or tries to sneak back into UK?

Tony Bennett eventually stopped harassing the McCanns once he had to attend court and with the threat of further legal action and prison, perhaps the penny will drop with this nutter too eventually.  One can but hope.

Does anyone else remember Tony Bennett being exposed hiding in a bush.  That was funny.

yes, and whatever happened to that dreadful woman he dragged along on his stalking mission?  I can’t even remember her name now!

I can't remember her name either.  Did she not bog off and leave her aged parents to rot?  And then she disappeared.

Deborah Something.  She used to phone me in the middle of the night.  I felt quite sorry for her sometimes.  She got thrown to the wolves by Tony Bennett.

According to the court testimony from the DNA expert today the “floor” sample of DNA taken from Apartment 5A (presumably taken from the tiles where Madeleine allegedly bled out following her lethal fall from the sofa / murderous attack by parents, delete according to your preferred conspiracy theory) belonged to a male.  Did we know this already?  I forget…

Yes, I think so.  Was it not the Tiler who hacked up the tiles and cut himself in the process?  Anyway, it wasn't Gerry's of any others of The Tapas lot.

Any new News?  The Polish woman is failing miserable but is not a British Citizen.  Spragg is a different kettle of fish and can be sentenced by a British Court, although it might not be worth the effort.  One of them is deluded and the other is just spiteful.  Neither of them have any evidence.

I think the media have lost interest now that the star turns have given their evidence.  Not much to report today.

Alleged Madeleine McCann family stalker said she never intended to harm them, court hears
Julia Wandelt, 24, denies stalking Kate and Gerry McCann, causing serious alarm or distress and is on trial at Leicester Crown Court. She allegedly told police: "I never wanted to cause them any distress, or make them stressed or sad, never. I just wanted them to take a DNA test."

The young woman accused of stalking Madeleine McCann's family said in police interviews she never intended to harm them, a jury has been told.

Julia Wandelt, 24, who the prosecution says believed she could be the missing toddler, allegedly said: "I never wanted to cause them any distress, or make them stressed or sad, never. I just wanted them to take a DNA test."

She was interviewed by detectives three times after her arrest in February this year and answered "no comment" to many questions.

But jurors heard that she was asked how she felt when Madeleine's younger sister Amelie became alarmed after Wandelt contacted her and was worried about what she would do next.


Wandelt allegedly told police: "What could I do next? I was only asking for a DNA test. I'm the victim here.

"They don't care. They don't care about Madeleine, they don't care about me. They only care about themselves.

"I would never do anything bad to them. I would never hurt them."

Wandelt listened to her interview transcripts being read out as she sat in a room at the jail where she is being held in custody. Occasionally, she walked away and then returned.


In her police interviews, jurors were told that Spragg said she had met Wandelt on social media and treated her as a daughter, trying to help her persuade the McCanns to take a DNA test.

"Julia's a grown adult, I couldn't stop her," she told police. She believed Wandelt had good evidence that she was Madeleine.

Spragg allegedly told police she had texted Madeleine's parents on Wandelt's behalf and accompanied her on a trip to confront the couple outside their home in Leicestershire.

Police asked her in the interview why she thought Gerry McCann hadn't wanted to speak to Wandelt.

She allegedly replied: "They know what they did to her. They arranged the kidnapping and abduction."

The trial at Leicester Crown Court continues.

Just another crazy [ censored word ]y,  Julia Wandelt and her barmy sidekick are the depressing product of every McCann hate site there ever was.
