Tommy Robinson Allegedly Told Journalist ‘I’m Coming to Get You’
GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 2 – Tommy Robinson is accused of sending intimidating social media messages to two journalists and their families after they published photos he deemed a threat to his children’s safety.
- On August 5 to 7, 2024, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, also known as Tommy Robinson, was formally charged with harassing two individuals in a manner that caused them to fear violence, and he subsequently attended a hearing at Southwark Crown Court.
- The charges arise from accusations that Robinson targeted two journalists from MailOnline, Andrew Young and Jacob Dirnhuber, with harassment through messages sent via his X account and phone calls, including threats such as "I'm coming to get you."
- The court heard Robinson posted edited photos of Young’s family and motor vehicle, sent direct messages threatening to visit the journalists’ homes, and accused them of endangering his children.
- Robinson entered a plea of not guilty and opted for a jury trial scheduled to last five days, beginning on October 19, 2026, at Southwark Crown Court; he expressed a desire for the case to be considered by a jury composed of ordinary citizens.
- Prosecutors confirmed no direct threats of violence appeared in the harassment, and Robinson was released on conditional bail until the scheduled pre-trial review on October 5, 2026.
