London, Oct. 26 (TNS): A UK court sentenced Taxi driver who confessed harassment against Imran Khan’s ex-wife Jemima Goldsmith.

Hassan Mahhmood, 27, bombarded Jemima, 43, with more than a thousand calls, texts and WhatsApp messages after she and her friends used his black taxi in June 2016.

Judge Martin Edmunds QC sentenced Mahhmood to eight weeks in prison, and suspended him for 18 months.

Edmunds told Mahhmood that he had left Jemima “increasingly frightened that he would visit her home.”

“She would ask family or friends to stay over and the seriousness of this is shown by the fact that she was planning to move her house,” Judge Edmunds told Mahhmood.

“It is sad that she delayed reporting you out of fear that you would seek revenge.”
