Man Convicted of Stalking for Creating Ex-Girlfriend's Fake Tinder Profile

Asad Hussain, 36, was found guilty of stalking by a UK court after creating a fake Tinder profile in his ex-girlfriend's name, sending violent messages that led at least 18 men to her home. Some men forced entry or arrived while her daughter was present. The court heard Hussain's relationship became controlling before ending in May 2024. He will be sentenced in June following a nine-day trial at Chester Crown Court.
