A jilted lover who falsely accused her ex-boyfriend of a catalogue of serious crimes while harrassing his new partners has been locked up for five years.

Sandra Danevska, 38, of Winslow Road, Hammersmith was sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court today to five years in prison, and was slapped with a restraining order.

During her vendetta, Danevska sent 134 bogus online reports, leading to 170 police reports being created.

She falsely implicated her ex-boyfriend as a suspect for rape, acid attacks and stabbings, and she also subjected the two women he went on to date to a traumatic online campaign.

Danevska was found guilty on Wednesday, June 29 following a trial at the same court of three counts of stalking involving serious alarm or distress.

She was also convicted of two counts of perverting the course of justice.

The court heard that Danevska had dated her former boyfriend for a few weeks about ten years ago, and had another brief relationship with him in 2013 before he said he wanted to go back to simply being friends.

Danevska then subjected the 45-year-old man, and his two subsequent partners, women aged 34 and 37, to repeated stalking and harassment.

She set up bogus social media profiles and fake email addresses in her ex-boyfriend's name to send threatening and malicious messages to other people, and used different mobiles to make silent calls and send text messages to him.

In 2014, Danevska began sending him almost daily emails from unknown accounts commenting on things he had done during the day, leading him to fear he was being followed.

She created 134 hoax online crime reports using the details of 60 different people to implicate him as a suspect in crimes, with police visiting him 42 times at home and ten times at work in response.

Among the many bogus allegations were claims that various made-up victims had been stabbed, raped or had acid thrown in their faces.

A woman who went out with Danevska's former boyfriend in 2010 also became the target of her campaign, receiving numerous threatening and malicious text messages and emails.

Danevska set up several social media accounts and email addresses in her name, which were used to send threatening messages to other people.

She also targeted another of his girlfriend's, who he had dated between October 2012 and October 2013.

Police visited her at home a number of times responding to crime reports that had supposedly been created by her.

She also received numerous malicious messages that were from Danevska usinf various social media accounts, some of which commented on her movements during the day.

A police investigation into the harassment began in 2011, but Danevska had covered her tracks so well that she could not be identified.

It was only in 2015 that a series of bogus social media profiles were traced to various addresses where Danevska had been employed as a nanny.

Police obtained a warrant to search her home in May 2015, and seized SIM cards, computer equipment and a diary in which she had written down he ex-boyfriend's movements.

In September 2015, she was charged with the offences.

Detective Constable Dean Puzey, of Hammersmith and Fulham CID, said: "This woman's actions caused her victims unimaginable distress and the sentence reflects the serious nature of her offending.

"Danevska stalked multiple victims and used social media and the police crime reporting system to make their lives intolerable. Her ex-boyfriend, an entirely innocent man, found himself a suspect for rape, stabbings and acid attacks - the impact on his life in particular was horrendous.

"Her actions also caused a massive waste of police time. Throughout Danevska's campaign, 17 of London's 32 boroughs responded to bogus reports of crime as a result of her malicious calls; her vendetta was a huge drain on police resources.

"Thankfully cases of multiple stalking are very rare and, despite all her efforts to avoid detection, we have finally been able to bring her to justice."
