Mason Rogers' actions were not those of a secret admirer or a well-intentioned gesture. In fact, his "gifts" were a sinister display of his disturbing knowledge of the victim's personal life. It all began with a limited-edition figurine left on her doorstep on Valentine's Day, followed by various items over a period of ten months. The victim, who did not know Rogers, was understandably terrified and installed a doorbell camera for her protection. Little did she know, this would capture the identity of her stalker in a Spiderman mask.
The gifts continued, each one more unsettling than the last. A book based on a TV show the victim enjoyed as a child, a card with a QR code linking to a video titled "My Stalker," and even a package containing surveillance cameras. Rogers went to great lengths to conceal his identity, wearing a baseball cap and face mask during his later visits. His twisted game of cat and mouse went on for months until he was finally caught and arrested.
During a search of Rogers' home, police found disturbing evidence of his obsession. Handwritten notes of the victim's name and address, the same wrapping paper used for the gifts, and a diary filled with details about her personal life. It was clear that this was no harmless infatuation, but a calculated and malicious act of stalking. Rogers was charged with stalking involving serious alarm and distress, a crime that carries a prison sentence of up to 10 years.
DCI Kelly Lewis, the lead for stalking at Sussex Police, commended the victim for her bravery in reporting the incident. It takes great courage to speak out against a stalker, and the victim's actions helped bring Rogers to justice. His sentencing is set for January 31, where he will face the consequences of his actions. Let this be a reminder that stalking is a serious crime that can have long-lasting effects on the victim.
