Catfisher, 22, who posed as a Premier League footballer as he stalked and sexually assaulted a woman is jailed for four years after she recorded his attack

A fantasist stalker who sexually assaulted a woman after catfishing her by pretending to be a Premier League footballer for Leicester City has been jailed.

Daniel Storer, 22, embarked on the ten month campaign of terror by creating fake accounts on social media to make contact with the 18-year-old victim.

He bizarrely posed as a footballer, police officers, lawyers, a paramedic, a vet, university students, a cancer patient and some of the identities he adopted were of real people.

A court heard he bombarded the teenager with messages after creating fake stories designed to encourage the victim to send sexual images of herself.
