'I have f****** told you': Businessman, 45, launched vile 'smear' campaign against 14-year-old's mum and placed fake ad for her on sex website
A 45-year-old man launched a 'smear campaign' against the family of an innocent teenage boy he believed was part of a gang who attacked him. Company director Eric Oldfield sent a barrage of threats to the 14-year-old's mother over a period of five months, Minshull Street Crown Court heard.
He later admitted his 'source' lacked credibility. The accused boy cannot be named for legal reasons. “Although no one was prosecuted for the crime, the defendant was told by a source that a fourteen year old boy was one of the perpetrators. In October 2021, the defendant discovered their address and sent the boy's mother a letter stating that he was the victim of an assault in that he believed her son was involved in.
''She felt that this article was intended to make her feel that her son was going to suffer the same fate. He also reissued his demand to stop her son from hanging out with the wrong crowd. “On March 14, he sent a message to the boy's mother saying that if she did not act he would come round and smash their windows in. On March 18, the defendant sent another message to the son although it was directed towards his mother.
