Mellisa Reeves, of Faringdon, was convicted of two counts of stalking involving serious alarm or distress of two separate victims between 2024 and 2025 at Oxford Magistrates' Court. The 32-year-old appeared at Oxford Crown Court on Thursday, January 15, to be sentenced for the charges, but the hearing was adjourned by the judge. As well as sending abusive messages, attending the victim's address and sending a glitter card to Ms Bevan, the defendant sent a card along with 'chocolate in the form of faeces' with the caption 'Eat s***' to the victim. Addressing Reeves, Judge Ian Pringle KC said: "Please be in no doubt that these offences are very serious, and they had a devastating effect on the people to whom you chose to carry them out." She will be sentenced at the same court on Friday, January 30.
