A stalker who left a beauty influencer feeling ‘terrified for her life’ and permanently scarring another victim after throwing a brick through her window, was jailed for four and a half years today.<\/p>\n
Danielle Moore, 34, turned up at Canadian born Priyanka Gnanasekaran’s workplace with two knives and\u00a0at snarled racist abuse at her in a series of threatening phone calls between July and December last year.<\/p>\n
Prosecutor Bartholemew O’Toole said Moore began privately messaging Ms Gnanasekaran’s public page after first following her several years ago, Southwark Crown Court heard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the messages becoming ‘inappropriate and somewhat bizzare’, Ms Gnanasekaram felt uncomfortable and decided to block Moore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But,\u00a0Moore then created multiple new accounts and started messaging her again after she was blocked, jurors heard. In one message Moore wrote: ‘I’ll be talking to Allah about what you’ve done. You’ve done wrong.’<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Beauty influencer Priyanka Gnanasekaran was left feeling ‘terrified for her life’ due to a stalker who has been jailed for four and a half years<\/p>\n
Ms Gnanasekaram replied saying she ‘didn’t know what she was referring to’ and asked Moore to stop.<\/p>\n
The victim, who moved to the UK from Canada last year, advised Moore that she would call the police if she carried on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another of Moore’s victim’s\u00a0Fatema Begum said she had been left feeling ‘petrified’ after Moore assaulted her with a brick, leaving her with a scar on her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During the six-month period Moore found out where Ms Gnanasekaran worked in central London and turned up twice last July, looking for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ms Gnanasekaran immediately recognised Moore and asked security staff to not let her in.<\/p>\n
In an audio recording played in court, Moore calmly asks the receptionist to speak to Ms Gnanasekaram.<\/p>\n
Before becoming irate and aggressive and calling Ms Gnanasekaram a ‘f****** p*** c***’.<\/p>\n
Moore then says: ‘P*** I’m coming, I’m f****** coming’.<\/p>\n
On the same day Moore was also spotted on CCTV, armed with two knives, trying to find a way to enter the building via the basement – police were called to the scene and Moore was arrested.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Moore continued to try and contact Ms Gnanasekaram from HMP Bronzefield, after telling staff she was trying to call her lawyer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She also called Ms Gnanasekaram four times on August 4, 2022, in addition to calling her at work under the alias ‘Sandra Diente’ in December last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Judge Gregory Perrins sentenced Moore to a total of four and a half years in prison, with an extended licence period of two and a half years. She was also handed two restraining orders prohibiting her from contacting Ms Begum and Ms Gnanasekaram for 10 years. Pictured: Southwark Crown Court<\/p>\n
Ms Gnanasekaram said in an impact statement read to the court she was left ‘terrified for her life thinking how much rage must have built up inside Moore since her arrest’.<\/p>\n
She also detailed the ‘immense sense of paranoia’ she felt during the stalking ordeal.<\/p>\n
Moore, of Bermondsey, denied but was convicted of stalking.<\/p>\n
In a seperate incident, Moore had also hurled two bricks at a window belonging to Fatema Begum in Felixstowe Road, Ipswich, on May 12, 2021, the court heard.<\/p>\n
The second object hit Ms Begum in the face causing a 2cm cut just above her left eyebrow, leaving her permanently scarred.<\/p>\n
Moore admitted unlawful wounding and damaging property.<\/p>\n

In her victim impact statement, Moore’s second victim, Ms Begum said she was left feeling petrified after she was assaulted with a brick.<\/p>\n
She said: ‘In the immediate days after this assault I was scared and petrified. As a result, I hardly ever left the house and relied on my friends and family to support me.<\/p>\n
‘I now knew Danielle knew where I lived, and I feared she would return to cause more damage or assault me further.<\/p>\n
‘I was left with a scar just above my left eyebrow in a really visible place. The only way I can repair the scar is with a skin graft and I cannot get it through the NHS.’<\/p>\n
Ms Begum has been left permanently scarred and ‘considerably distressed’ as a result of the attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n
