A Victorian woman who
posed as various celebrities, including Home and Away star
Lincoln Lewis, to obtain
intimate images she then used to stalk and harass her victims
has had her prison term increased after
appealing on grounds that her original sentence was too
severe.
Years of
psychological abuse
32-year old Lydia Abdelmalek's campaign of abuse commenced
more than a decade ago, when she took on the personas of multiple
celebrities in a concerted effort to exert psychological cruelty on
the women she targeted.
After capitalising on their vulnerabilities and desire for an
ongoing relationship, as well as gaining control by obtaining naked
images of the women, Ms Abdelmalek then proceeded to make various
threats including that she would publish the images if they did not
comply with her demands.
