Claire Waxman speaks to Victoria about being stalked for the past seven years.
Claire Waxman, a mother of two who has been stalked for the past seven years, is considering leaving the country to escape the man who's been harassing her. Last month 34 year old Eliot Fogle was jailed for 16 weeks after he twice breached a restraining order but he could be free in just over a month.
Since 2003 Fogle has bombarded Claire Waxman with cards, late night phone calls and flowers. In just one year he googled her name forty thousand times. He turned up outside her home and went to her daughter's nursery posing as a prospective parent.
