Claire Foy stalker given suspended prison sentence

A man who stalked actress Claire Foy has been given a 22-month suspended jail sentence.

Jason Penrose, 49, sent Ms Foy more than 1,000 emails within a month and appeared outside her home, a court previously heard.

In November, Penrose admitted stalking and breaching a stalking ban.

His sentencing hearing at Wood Green Crown was delayed from last month after the court was warned he would continue to contact 38-year-old Ms Foy.

Penrose, a US citizen, has agreed to be repatriated.

He has been held in a mental health unit for the past year.
