Television presenter and musician Myleene Klass experienced moments of 'absolute terror' after an alleged stalker sent an air gun to her family home, a London court heard on Wednesday.
The harrowing details emerged during the trial of 35-year-old Hyun-Ju Cobb, who stands accused of waging a sustained stalking campaign against the former Hear'Say star between August 2022 and May 2023.
'Living in Fear'
Prosecutors described how the situation escalated dramatically when Cobb allegedly dispatched the potentially lethal weapon to Klass's address. 'Receiving an air gun at my home, where my children live, filled me with absolute terror,' Klass stated in her emotional testimony read to Wood Green Crown Court.
The court heard that this disturbing incident represented just one element of what prosecutors characterized as a relentless nine-month campaign of harassment that left the celebrity presenter fearing for her safety and that of her family.
Pattern of Harassment
The alleged stalking included:
- Multiple unwanted communications and messages
- The threatening air gun delivery to her personal residence
- Consistent patterns of behaviour that created genuine fear
- Invasion of her personal and family security
Hyun-Ju Cobb, who resides in Southwark, southeast London, has pleaded not guilty to a single count of stalking involving serious alarm or distress. The prosecution maintains that his actions had substantial impact on Klass's sense of security and wellbeing.
Celebrity Security Concerns
This case highlights the growing concerns about celebrity security and the psychological impact of stalking on public figures. The delivery of a weapon to a family home represents an alarming escalation in harassment tactics that has raised eyebrows in legal and entertainment circles alike.
The trial continues as the court examines the evidence surrounding what prosecutors describe as a 'persistent and frightening' pattern of behaviour against the well-known presenter and mother.
