The woman convicted of stalking and harassing a BBC DJ and his family has been jailed.
Sarah Jayne Rook, 44, will serve 26 weeks in jail and has been given an indefinite restraining order after previously being found guilty of “persistently” stalking 6Music presenter Gilles Peterson in February and March.
Rook was convicted of stalking Peterson - whose real last name is Moehrle - by District Judge Louisa Cieciora, who also found the harassment against Gilles' wife Mrs Moehrle to be racially aggravated.
Rook was also convicted racially aggravated intentional harassment, alarm or distress against PC Karlene Richards by calling her a "f**king negro" after her March 16 arrest.
At a previous hearing, Peterson, 55, told how Rook had turned up at his north London home where she hurled abuse at him and his family.
Peterson had told the court that the abuse included "all kinds of stuff from 'paedophile' to 'Hiroshima' to 'rapist' - all very extreme words that were shouted at my house."
Peterson had found a torn-up picture of himself on the windscreen of his car, and was shaken by a tweet sent to him while he was on air reading "f**king kill him".
During a 30-minute verbal attack on February 15, Rook shouted expletives outside Peterson's home and called his wife Atsuko a "Hiroshima bitch."
On another occasion, Peterson recalled feeling "very threatened" as Rook shouted obscenities outside his studio.
When asked if she wished to give evidence, Rook replied: "It's probably a waste of an exercise, to be honest."
Rook had insisted in a letter to the court that she had been conducting a "freelance investigation" into the history of jazz.
Writing in the third person, she said: "She is unsure why Mr Peterson has embarked on this legal action but she hopes to see release to continue her book and investigative journalism."
Passing judgement after Rook was found guilty, District Judge Cieciora said the woman had engaged in a "campaign against Mr Moehrle".
