Tommy Robinson has been found guilty of harassing two Daily Mail journalists.

His supporters in the public gallery let out sighs of disappointment as the verdicts were handed down at Southwark Crown Court

Robinson, who gave his name in court as Stephen Lennon, stood still as the verdict was read out.

Wearing a navy suit with what appeared to be American flags on the back of his waistcoat, he sat down and shook his head quietly as the judge addressed the jury after the verdicts.

The jurors had deliberated for 11 hours and 25 minutes before coming to a majority decision of 10 to two of both charges of harassment causing fear of violence.

His trial heard how the anti-migrant activist ‘retaliated’ after the Daily Mail published a story about him ‘stoking riots from his sunbed’ during unrest in the UK in August 2024 following the murders of three girls in Southport.

Robinson made a series of posts on social media about the unfolding situation while on holiday in Cyprus, prompting the newspaper to send Mr Young and a photographer to the island.

After the MailOnline published its story about him, Robinson posted criticisms on his X account of Mr Young and Mr Dirnhuber because of their involvement in the article.

The jury panel accepted the prosecution’s case that the decision to hire detectives was designed to ‘intimidate’ his victims, with photographs of Mr Dirnhuber outside his home and cropped images of Mr Young’s family posted online by Robinson.

Jurors rejected claims from the activist that the Daily Mail had put his family in danger by publishing the story, with the defendant weeping in the witness box on Thursday as he spoke about the relationship he had with his children.

Prosecutor Ben Holt previously told the court Mr Young was given a close protection officer by the Daily Mail after photographs of his wife and children were posted on Robinson’s X account.

Mr Dirnhuber had to move house because of the harassment and Daily Mail correspondent George Odling also felt the need to leave his family home after becoming concerned with the publicity surrounding his colleagues.

Mr Verity also provided evidence to police of a voicemail he received from Robinson, who told him: ‘I’ve already located every f****** one of you.’

The activist posted on X before the trial began to thank Elon Musk for funding his legal fees.

He was granted bail ahead of his sentencing on December 16.
