Andrew Bloomfield's been sentenced to four years and 2 months in prison after persistently sending indecent images and upsetting comments to two women
The 39 year old used fake identities to target the women for several years.
In 2013, Mr Bloomfield targeted a victim he knew indirectly and, sent images of naked men, used sexually derogatory language and made lewd suggestions to her.
When his target objected to the offensive content he continued to send her similar material on social media using fake identities over several years.
From 2016, Bloomfield targeted a second victim on social media platforms with images of men’s genitals and offensive messages using around 80 false identities.
The two women were acquaintances and discovered they had both been suffering the same ordeal.
The police were contacted and an investigation commenced that led to the arrest of Bloomfield at his home address on 31 August 2022.
Bloomfield, of Fawkham Road, West Kingsdown, was charged and pleaded guilty at Maidstone Crown Court to two counts of stalking.
On Friday 8 November 2024, the 39-year-old was sentenced to four years and two months’ imprisonment.
He will be subject to a sexual harm prevention order for 10 years that prohibits him from having a Facebook or Instagram account in a name other than his own.
He also has to comply with an indefinite restraining order.
Investigating officer, PC Callum Fullerton, said:
‘This appalling man has caused misery for his two victims over several years. His disgusting messages and images left the women in considerable distress and he should be thoroughly ashamed of his vile conduct.'
