On Thursday, February 8th 2024, Andrew Henry Cooper of New Road, Princes Risborough was sentenced at High Wycombe Magistrates Court, having pleaded guilty to three counts of harassment that had been ongoing since October 2020. He was given a 12-week prison sentence, suspended for 24 months, an indefinite restraining order, 150 hours of unpaid work and fined £500 in court costs.
Cooper mounted a campaign of harassment targeting a woman he offered to fund, her father and her friend, which he launched after she raised a formal grievance over concerns about his behaviour. The 58-year-old retired software developer and owner of the non-trading entity Daemonlinks Ltd sent thousands of abusive and harassing emails to his victims despite being arrested and bailed on the conditions that he stopped.
The emails sent by Cooper included obscene sexual references, references of incest, false allegations of prostitution, threats of violence, vexatious legal threats and a text message showing a photo of bolt cutters he had laid out on his kitchen table next to his only suit. Not only were these emails sent from Cooper but also from the email addresses of women whom Copper had originally claimed were his employees but would later admit on video that they were fabricated.
Cooper, who refers to himself as "AHC" published hundreds of bizarre and abusive videos to YouTube. One video that was published publicly was a recording of his own arrest (pictured) that also showed his neighbour's children in their underpants. It was also revealed in court that Cooper had previously been cautioned for similar behaviour towards a partner in 2006.
The judge in the case noted Cooper's threats of violence and that he had continued this behaviour for three years right up until sentencing classifying it as a category A1 offence. The judge made clear that any further contact from Cooper, be it direct or via a third party, would result in imprisonment.
Cooper's victims made an official complaint that it took Thames Valley Police over two years before he was even charged. Thames Valley Police blamed Covid 19 and issues in processing the sheer volume of evidence.
