Caption: Tommy Robinson Found Guilty Of Harassing Two MailOnline Journalists. Far-right activist Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has been found guilty of harassing two MailOnline journalists. Robinson was convicted of harassment causing fear of violence against investigative reporter Andrew Young and editor Jacob Dirnhuber. The case followed an August 2024 article showing Robinson on holiday in Cyprus that accused him of "stoking riots from his sunbed”. Prosecutors said Robinson hired private investigators to find the journalists' addresses and told Young "I'm coming to get you" and Dirnhuber "I'll be knocking at your door”. Robinson later posted images of Dirnhuber outside his home and photographs of Young's wife and children, with both journalists taking additional security precautions. Robinson admitted wanting to put "pressure" on the journalists but denied trying to intimidate them, telling the court he was "giving a warning”. Robinson was convicted by a 10-2 majority on both charges and will be sentenced on 16 December, with the offence carrying a maximum 10-year prison sentence. The Daily Mail welcomed the verdict, saying Robinson's behaviour had "grave consequences" for its journalists and their families.
