A barrister known as the 'White Witch of Rye' has escaped imprisonment after invading the home of a self-proclaimed 'wizard' and taking control of his life. She launched a terrifying campaign of stalking against the man, culminating in her vandalizing his property. Lane also bombarded Alfred with a barrage of phone calls and text messages, and in 2020, convinced him to allow her to stay in his home after weaving a web of lies.
Once inside, she seized control of the widower's life, even assuming responsibility for his bank card and account. Lane has now avoided jail time after pleading guilty to charges of harassment and criminal damage. The relationship between Lane and Alfred, who locals dubbed the 'White Witch of Rye', started after she convinced him to let her stay. They allegedly became inseparable, with Lane even managing to persuade Alfred to change his will, making her the sole inheritor of his home and shop, valued at approximately £1.5 million. However, their relationship was far from harmonious. Lane would reportedly fly into drunken rages, smashing Alfred's belongings after consuming large quantities of gin. The campaign of terror finally ended when Lane, angered by a portrait of the King and Union Jack bunting in Alfred's shop, destroyed a glass panel on his front door and his greenhouse. She then pushed Alfred out of his home and is accused of assaulting his family. Lane was convicted of harassment without violence and criminal damage, but other charges were dropped. Following the case, Alfred's family spoke about his ordeal, stating that the experience had left him 'shattered and upset.' His nephew, Paul Wilson-Patterson, and his wife, Anna, said, 'We're very relieved that this bizarre episode is behind us. It has left my uncle shattered and upset. Her vicious cruelty to our family friends has caused great sadness. Her drunken rages have resulted in criminal damage to our Uncle's property, which has taken many months to repair and replace. She then breached her bail agreement and continued to persistently harass family members by phone, email, post, and social media for several months. Anyone who lets this person into their lives is at risk.
