Full statement from Vine v Belfield  @AlexBelfieldTheVoiceOfReason  before Mrs Justice Steyn, at the Royal Courts of Justice on 20/07/23

I am now taking my own civil case against Alex Belfield.

Please help me to raise legal fees to claim compensation from ex BBC presenter Alex Belfield  @AlexBelfieldTheVoiceOfReason  who harassed and stalked me, and then threatened “he’d be back”.

I am raising money through Crowd Justice. All the money raised will go directly to Samuel Solicitors.

I am Philip Dehany and I need your help. I was a theatre blogger and am now a volunteer for the Terrence Higgins Trust.

I am one of the several victims who were harassed by former BBC presenter Alex Belfield, which led to him being jailed for five and a half years. After his trial concluded, but before he was sentenced, Belfield publicly revealed information about my HIV status. I am now claiming compensation from him in the civil courts, under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.

Belfield’s awful campaign of harassment against me, (much of which was directed at my sexuality) continued even during and after his trial. He constantly published harassing videos about me and others, and made a lot of money from YouTube advertising revenue and by asking for donations from his followers.

The impact upon me has been huge - my reputation has been seriously damaged and I lost my passion, confidence and ultimately my income as a theatre blogger. I am now seeking therapy.

I have already spent over £4,000 in legal fees and have to pay £1,500 more for the work which has been done to get me to this stage.

Unless Belfield agrees to settle with me, which seems very unlikely, I will have no choice but to issue court proceedings against him and my costs to take the matter all the way to trial could reach £100,000.

If you are able to help, donate or share my story, thank-you.
