"Peter Windsor, 61, from Birmingham, was at trial found guilty of two counts of stalking causing "serious alarm or distress" in relation to Klass and fellow Classic FM presenter Katie Breathwick between 2020 and 2024. The trial heard Windsor sent the women numerous unwanted gifts at Classic FM's central London studios, including details of how to write a will, binoculars, a police uniform and dozens of letters."
"During sentencing at Warwick Crown Court on Thursday, Judge Tom Rochford said that while Windsor had no previous convictions, he believed the defendant knew what he was doing. He pointed to an "escalating pattern of conduct" and "deliberate and calculating" actions, causing the women to make "significant changes" to their lifestyles."
"Windsor, diagnosed with schizophrenia, will remain in hospital until a judge says it is safe to release him. Windsor, of Mary Road in the Stechford area of Birmingham, has been in custody since 18 September 2024 and will remain there before being transferred to a hospital within 28 days."
