The activist, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, denies two counts of harassment causing fear of violence over a 2024 phone call and online posts.
- Court heard a Robinson supporter shared journalist Andrew Young's home address on X, after which Robinson called him saying "I'm coming to get you."
- Young told the court the call became increasingly menacing, with unknown men appearing outside his home and men in a car shouting at his daughter.
- Fellow journalist Jacob Dirnhuber said he and his family left their home after receiving messages and images of him from Robinson.
- Prosecutor Ben Holt said the case concerned Robinson's reaction to Mail articles about his holiday in Cyprus.
