Stalker Threatened to Kill Stephen Hawking

A female stalker threatened to kill Stephen Hawking during a conference. The woman sent disturbing emails to the physicist, telling him where she is and what she is planning to do. The stalker was apprehended by the police and is now serving time for her actions.

Jenny Theresa C. got a restraining order after the physicist’s family prompted the authorities. The female stalker threatened to kill Stephen Hawking because, according to her statement, she was in love with him.

The Spanish authorities held an expedited hearing as the woman pleaded guilty to stalking the famous author and physicist. Due to the fact that she admitted her crimes, Jenny Theresa C. was released on probation and only got a suspended jail sentence.

Because the female stalker threatened to kill Stephen Hawking in an explicit way, the authorities decided to issue a restraining order against her. According to the document, the woman is not allowed to approach the Nobel laureate within 500 meters. She is also banned from communicating with him in any way (telephone, email, letters, or any other outlet).

Normally, Spanish law would have condemned her to at least two years of incarceration. However, giving that she is an American citizen and that it was her first offense on the country’s territory, the full sentencing was canceled.

“The American citizen arrested for threatening Stephen Hawking has been released because the four-month prison sentence she received was suspended as she didn’t have a criminal record in Spain,” court source declared.

Jenny Theresa C. was arrested by Spanish police on Friday. She was staying at the Canary Island hotel. According to sources, the woman was planning to kill Stephen Hawking because she was in love with him.

Unfortunately, the more famous a person is, the more the chances of getting stalked increase. The problem with this behavior is that it usually ends badly for the person that falls victim to the deranged abuser.

One famous example of a tragic ending caused by stalking is John Lennon. His killer, who was a Beatles fan, developed an obsession for the singer, ultimately deciding to end his life. Other celebrities that were killed by an obsessive stalker are Rebecca Schaefer and Christina Grimmie.
