| | |  Man charged for harassing J.K.Rowling
The BBC today reports that a 51 year old man, Paul Lomax, has been ordered to stay away from J.K.Rowling after he bombarded her with letters and phone calls. Lomax was fixated with the idea that he'd met Jo on a train 17 years ago. Quote:
Edinburgh Sheriff Court issued an indefinite non-harassment order against Lomax, banning him from contacting Ms Rowling or her staff.
Lomax, from London, was also fined £300 after pleading guilty to the offence.
Quote:
Ms Rowling became seriously concerned when in one letter Lomax compared himself to Kenneth Halliwell, who committed suicide after killing fellow writer Joe Orton with a hammer in 1967.
Prior to being arrested last year Lomax had ignored two previous warnings from the police.
Lomax apologised for any distress he had caused the author or her staff. | |

Okay... that is really weird. He must not be right in the head or something.
Poor Jo. That must have been scary.
And he's no real fan. A real fan wouldn't do that to her.

Scary. I have a feeling that man has a mental illness. It's good that JKR has managed to keep him away, though, since illness or no... that's a really bad thing for her safety. :/
Plus, you know, I kinda want to keep her around because... a) she's an awesome person, and b) she still has many more books to write for me to read, lol.

Even "IF" he really did...why should he bother her about it? She wouldn't care. And he got arrested for it...
