A Swindon woman nearly mowed down her ex and lied to him about a pregnancy following a break-up, a court heard.

Sophie Clifford previously pleaded guilty to a campaign of stalking against her male victim between 28 December 2024 and 28 January 2025.

The 31-year-old, of Blackwell Close, admitted lying about being pregnant in a bid to get her victim’s attention when he refused to engage in requests to chat.

In another incident, she ‘skimmed past’ the man and his friend in her car – leaving them both fearful. On other occasions, she left a gift on his vehicle and turned up at his home.

At Swindon Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday (23 July), she was sentenced to a 12-month community order including 15 days of rehabilitation work and told to pay a £292 fine.

Please reach out if you are in an abusive relationship. There are people who can help you – don’t suffer alone. Find a list of local and national organisations supporting male and female survivors on our Domestic Violence Helplines page. In an emergency, always call 999.
