silverguide.site –

Tommy Robinson, the jailed far-right activist, has been charged with harassment of two journalists.

Robinson, 42, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is accused of two counts of harassment causing fear of violence between 5 and 7 August last year.

He will appear at Westminster magistrates court on 5 June 2025, according to a statement issued on Wednesday by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

“We have authorised the Metropolitan police to charge Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, 42, with harassment causing fear of violence against two men,” a CPS spokesperson said.

“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active and that he has the right to a fair trial.”

The far-right figure is facing a separate trial in October next year over an accusation that he failed to provide the Pin for his mobile phone when stopped by Kent police in Folkestone in July 2024.
