Man guilty of harassing MP Stella Creasy on Tube train

Wilby told the court he had hoped to continue their previous conversation about the constituent on the Tube, but claimed Creasy “became quite agitated” and that he was “quite shocked by her reaction”.

He said he started recording on his phone “for my safety”.

Wilby denied standing in front of Creasy and claimed she spoke to him first. He also denied telling her in 2024 that he had been diagnosed as a psychopath.

Delivering his verdict, Deputy Chief Magistrate Tan Ikram referred to footage in which Wilby said: “I don’t care about your feelings, your feelings don’t matter to me”.

He added: “She made her own position very clear. She said that ‘I repeatedly asked him to stop, he didn’t, he was abusive and aggressive’ and it’s clear from the defendant’s own words he did not care.

“In relation to the conduct of the two members of the public who intervened, the situation must have been such that there was concern for her safety, otherwise they would clearly not have intervened as they did.”

Wilby is due to be sentenced on 8 September.
