Buckley admitted harassment without violence at Leeds Magistrates CourtA mother-of-two bombarded a glamorous travel company boss with more than 100 phone calls and set up 20 fake online profiles to abuse her in a 'Baby Reindeer-like' harassment campaign after wrongly believing she was dating her ex.
She was sentenced to a 12-month community order involving 150 hours of unpaid work and given a two-year restraining order to prevent all contact with Miss Kidger.

Some calls were made in the middle of the night.
A probation officer told the court Buckley said it began when her partner 'went missing for four days' and believed he was living with Miss Kidger. He said she was 'upset and remorseful for her actions and understands the upset it has caused', adding: 'This is going to be a stain on her good character.'
