63岁的克利福德·威尔比因在伦敦维多利亚线地铁列车上骚扰工党议员斯特拉·克里斯被判有罪[1]。威斯敏斯特治安法庭裁定威尔比触犯了使用威胁性、辱骂性言语或行为造成骚扰、惊吓或痛苦罪[1]。治安法官坦·伊克拉姆主持了此案的审理[1]。
事件发生于2025年7月15日，49岁的沃尔瑟姆斯托工党议员克里斯在列车车厢内遭遇骚扰[1]。威尔比阻止了克里斯下车，并就刀具犯罪等问题进行了侵略性谈话，同时用手机拍摄她[1]。克里斯表示威尔比当时"非常接近"她，她"非常担心"被困在密闭空间[1]。威尔比辩称他录像是"为了我的安全"[1]。
此前，两人曾在2024年通过视频会议接触，该会议因威尔比的行为而被迫终止[1]。宣判日期定于2025年9月8日[1]。
A 63-year-old man has been convicted of harassing Labour MP Stella Creasy aboard a Victoria Line tube train in London.[1] Clifford Wilby, who resides in East London, confronted Creasy on July 15, 2025, blocking her exit from the carriage while engaging in aggressive conversation about knife crime and filming her with his mobile phone.[1]
Westminster Magistrates' Court found Wilby guilty of harassment by threatening, abusive words or behaviour causing alarm, harassment or distress.[1] Creasy, the 49-year-old MP for Walthamstow, described feeling extremely concerned during the incident, stating that Wilby was "very close" to her and she was "very worried" about being trapped in the confined space.[1] Wilby claimed he was recording for his own safety.[1] The two had previously encountered each other during a Zoom meeting in 2024, which was terminated due to Wilby's behaviour.[1]
Magistrate Tan Ikram presided over the case, with sentencing scheduled for September 8, 2025.[1]
