Please help me to raise legal fees to claim compensation from ex BBC presenter Alex Belfield @AlexBelfieldTheVoiceOfReason who harassed and stalked me, and then threatened “he’d be back”.
I am raising money through Crowd Justice. All the money raised will go directly to Samuel Solicitors.

I am Philip Dehany and I need your help. I was a theatre blogger and am now a volunteer for the Terrence Higgins Trust.
I am one of the several victims who were harassed by former BBC presenter Alex Belfield, which led to him being jailed for five and a half years. After his trial concluded, but before he was sentenced, Belfield publicly revealed information about my HIV status. I am now claiming compensation from him in the civil courts, under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.
Belfield’s awful campaign of harassment against me, (much of which was directed at my sexuality) continued even during and after his trial. He constantly published harassing videos about me and others, and made a lot of money from UA-cam advertising revenue and by asking for donations from his followers.
The impact upon me has been huge - my reputation has been seriously damaged and I lost my passion, confidence and ultimately my income as a theatre blogger. I am now seeking therapy.
I have already spent over £4,000 in legal fees and have to pay £1,500 more for the work which has been done to get me to this stage.
Unless Belfield agrees to settle with me, which seems very unlikely, I will have no choice but to issue court proceedings against him and my costs to take the matter all the way to trial could reach £100,000.
If you are able to help, donate or share my story, thank-you.
Timeline-
I first complained to the BBC legal department about Belfield’s behaviour on 1 January 2020. They advised me to contact the police.
On 12 April 2020 I reported Belfield’s behaviour to UA-cam as “Hateful or Abusive content”.
On 17 April 2020 I first filed a “hate crime/incident reporting form” to the Metropolitan Police.
On 10 August 2020 I emailed DC Janet Percival at Nottingham Police, after being informed that she was dealing with multiple complaints regarding Alex Belfield. It was Nottinghamshire Police who decided to pursue the criminal case against Belfield.
On 5 October 2020 I received a letter from Alex Belfield’s solicitor, Henri Brandman, threatening to sue me for damages, for claiming that Belfield “abused and harassed BBC colleagues for a number of years” (which of course he had).
On 25 October 2020 I filed a further criminal complaint against Alex Belfield.
On 16 June 2021 Alex Belfield was charged with 12 counts of stalking by causing serious alarm or distress which had a substantial adverse effect on the complainants' usual day-to-day activities. He was accused of stalking eight individuals (including me) between 25 November 2012 and 31 March 2021.
From 26 to 27 July 2022 I attended Nottingham Crown Court to present two days of evidence against Belfield during the five week trial ‘R v Belfield’.
On 27- 30 July 2022 Belfield uploaded three new videos on his UA-cam channel in relation to my HIV status.
On 5 August 2022 Belfield was found guilty of stalking four people, including myself and BBC Presenter Jeremy Vine.
On 6 August 2022 I commenced my civil claim against Belfield, instructing Judith Thompson at Samuels Solicitors.
On 16 August 2022 UA-cam refused to take down the videos that Belfield posted about my HIV+ status, saying “they were unable to identify a violation”.
On 16 September 2022 Belfield was jailed for five and a half years.
On 28 February 2023 Samuels Solicitors submitted a letter of claim to Belfield. He has not responded positively, and therefore I now have no option but to issue a claim in the High Court, to sue Alex Belfield for damages.

Asking for money, really ?
What do you mean?
Everyone's a victim these days ffs
Not everyone. But when a man is convicted by a judge and a jury and sentenced to prison, for what he did to me, then yes I can call myself a victim.
@@rogerdodger1790 no.
@@iamthat
Do you mean the same trustworthy people who protected Blair !
@@andym2679 do you actually know any of the details of this case. Have you drawn your conclusions based on this, or is your comment just generalisation?
@@andym2679 You are talking absolute rubbish! Please stop trying to make this some example of a conspiracy. There were eight charges, four of the verdicts of the victims who worked at the BBC were found not guilty. Jeremy’s was reduced to simple stalking. Ben Hewis who has no connection to the BBC got a guilty verdict. For the last time, this had NOTHING to do with the corporation. The judge was not bribed.
If your conspiracy theory had a shred of likelihood, don’t you think Belfield would have been found guilty of all eight charges.
I will ask you again, have you even examined any of the evidence that the jury based their judgements on, to determine whether the verdicts stand up? Or are you just basing this on some wild theory which has no actual substance?
Do you think Alex was innocent. Because that it what we are talking about here.
I’m not interested in you generalising that this happens “sometimes” or in “some” cases. We are talking about my case, about Belfield.
Unless you think Belfield was innocent, and that Judge Saini was bribed? I don’t understand why you are even presenting this argument? It has no relevance to this case, which is what we’re talking about.
This is a video about my case, about Belfield. Please stick to the facts.
By all means present what ever evidence or opinions you have that relate specifically to this case and to Belfield, but leave your conspiracy theories to other videos which actually relate to them.
Grow up! I can’t wait for Alex to get released, he was harshly sentenced. I’m a huge fan and think he’s hilarious, he did nothing wrong! 🤡👶
Agreed
Pay your own fees.
"new type of stalking, that we had to literally redfine the definition of"
It's a giant stitch up!
You are correct about one thing - You (we) really do need help!!
Asking for money 🤡👍
Boo Hoo
Oh cry me a river you woos
Didn’t you write rubbish about him though ? You’re the one who started it .
No. This is exactly what Belfield wanted you to believe. Belfield lied by suggested I has written libel comments about him. He was proved in court to have been “mistaken.” You can read about this in the judges sentencing remarks, if you’re actually interested in the truth.

@@iamthat you did write an article in your newspaper? What did it say ?
@@fitfinlay999 so you don’t even know? That’s my point. How dare you accuse me of starting it, and saying that I “write rubbish” about Belfield when you don’t even know what I wrote.
@@iamthat you write lies
@@roastedicons1234 really? Please do go on….
Free alex .
Don’t worry he’ll be out in 2 years!
Of course it was a stitch up even a blind man can see that😊
What was a stitch up?
@@iamthat well put it this way the stalking court case was all cut and dried before Alex walk up them steps
I am not condoning the stalking
I am just saying he didn't get a fair trial because the BBC top people made sure of that
@@jackwatsonepic626 you are wrong. Are you forgetting that four out of eight of the charges were found not guilty, these related to the four women who worked at the BBC. Myself and Ben do not work for the BBC and our verdicts came back as guilty. This was down to the evidence we provided and ultimately a jury determined Belfield’s verdicts, not the BBC. Furthermore Belfield refused to give evidence or pay for a barrister, choosing to represent himself. If his trial was “unfair” that was down to him.
@@jackwatsonepic626 exactly jeremy viles fees payed buy the tv licence
@@iamthat but they had to do it like that ,, to make it look fair
translation: "please change my nappy like my mummy used to do"
Pr1ck!! #TeamAlex
You had to redefine the law in order to get him convicted?!
The Protection from Harassment Act has existed from 1997, but Belfield was the first person to ever be convicted of stalking multiple people at the same time. The jury had to recognise his behaviour as stalking. Which they did.
@@iamthat I haven’t read the court’s
opinion on this case, so I don’t know the exact legal reasoning, but if he was convicted retroactively for a “crime” that wasn’t a crime at the time it happened, that’s judicial activism, aka - making a round peg fit into a square hole.
Everyone is ok because it’s happened to this guy and no one seems to like him (I’m in the US and I don’t know much about him other than what I’ve seen on UA-cam) but if it can be done to him, it can be done to you and me in the future.
Was the “crime” that he sent thousands of emails over the course of 10 years? Did I hear that correctly?
Is 1 email a day over 10 years considered to be harassment?
Last I checked, you can block or simply delete emails you do not wish to receive. Do we really want to start sending people to jail for this?
Because someone hurt our feelings?
I guarantee going along with this kind of reasoning is going to wind up biting us all in the ass one day.
If they literally redefined stalker to make him a stalker surely they’re the ones who should be held accountable is that not the definition of tyranny🤦🏻♂️
He wants a hair transplant . Year gone by and it’s all gone .
Ooh good idea. Maybe I might pay for one with my winnings
"Victim". Grow up, seriously.
You grow up.
@@iamthat I went on UA-cam to search for Alex Belfield. All that comes up is videos you've made about him. YOU are obsessed with him.
maybe belfield should grow up and take that D in prison without complaints like a "real man" for his actions unless you meant by your comment that it was just supposed to be one sided and to act as a one sided deflectatory measure to divert attention from and obsolve alex of his crimes against this man
Your not a victim
The jury that found Belfield guilty think I am.
So now you want money too. Ironic.
What do you mean?
Bugger me this bloke isn’t very popular 😂think I’d delete my UA-cam profile and just play with my handbag if I was you flower 🌸
Thanks for the advice. Can’t wait to buy some more handbags when Belfield is ordered to pay my damages.
I suppose you could buy a lot of handbags with that 😮
😂😂😂😂😂. Good answer.
yeah right
What?
You are making it up leave Alex belfield alone he did nothing wrong
Making what up? Please tell me what you are accusing me of lying about?
@@iamthat you are making it all up about Alex belfield it is time to end now people can't stop talking about Alex and it has been about a year soon they will make Alex belfield more famous
@@adammarshall9077He is already infamous for stalking.
@@iamthat STOP BEGGING
@@macman975 I have.
Proof?
What?
Pay your own way mate, man up ffs
Great crack. Cheers
@@iamthat you are welcome, people need reminding that life is not an easy ride and also not a free ride either 👍
@@jaybee7291 you’re absolutely right, and charity begins at home, right?
@@iamthat yeah but someone elses legal fees are not for a charitable cause, its for your own personal financial gain, right?
@@jaybee7291 nope. If you watch my videos I have already said, all the money raised through donations will be paid forward to charity, if I win.
I’m confused isn’t this exactly what Belfield did RE asking for money on UA-cam for legal fees?
No it was very different. No. Alex Belfield launched two go-fund-me's that were later investigated and shut down for fraud, he then asked for paypal donations for a case that didn't exist. I am asking for help in an actual case that is ongoing that I have already spent £4,000 of my own money in legal fees for.
@@Tad1945 I did not say it was your responsibility. I have already paid £4,000 of my own money. And pledged that any of the money raised through this appeal, when won back will go to the Terrence Higgins Trust. You do not have to support me, or watch my videos.
@@Tad1945 I am nothing like Alex Belfield, Alex set up two go fund me accounts where the money went directly to his bank until they were investigated for fraud, he then asked for donations through pay pal which went directly to him, pretending that he was suing the BBC. All the money raised by this goes directly to the solicitors, I do not see any of it. And as I say, when I am awarded damages and Belfield is made to pay back these legal costs, the amount raised will be deducted and donated to charity. If you see that as me “scrounging” then that is just how you see it. Like I say, I am not asking you to help or support me.
But Alex Bellend is a convicted criminal.
@@iamthatIs that the same sort of "pledge" Amber Heard mm made about her settlement? Looks like it's been all about the money to me.
Stitch up. Why was he bothering you online ? Money grabber
Yes Belfield was a money grabber you are correct, he used his platform to make money by attacking and harassing people online and intimidating them with corrupt emails, messages and unsolicited phone calls.
He extorted money from people through two go fund me campaigns that were found out to be fraudulent, and begged for money through PayPal to “sue the bbc” which he never did.
He was a fraud who admitted to lying.
@@iamthatno your a money grabber begging for money
You really do come across as a “victim”. Life must have been so difficult for you and you have shown true courage speaking up against this heinous crime. # 🇺🇦 🌈
I likeMr bellfield very good presenter
Well he should have stuck to “presenting” rather than harass, stalk and blackmail people, and then he wouldn’t be in prison
@iamthat my god I thought I would make a plain and simple statement.you do seem to be very upset don't get so heated about life
@@bermondsey548428 well maybe you should have read the room. You’ve come on my channel to comment on my video about my stalker. Saying that despite the fact he harassed and stalked me, you felt he was a good presenter. And now you’re wondering why I challenged your opinion. Jog on.
@@iamthat strange human being
@@bermondsey548428 Belfield? He is yes. I completely agree.
Victims are rarely the actual victim
Blackmail lol
What an absolute helmet this guy is
Stand by your convictions!
Pay your own way!
Thanks 😊
Lol OK bro
Thanks pal
The victim stance 😂
What word would you use?
@@iamthatP*ssy
Is this Philip Dehaney?
Yes.
@@iamthat thank you! cheers!
"he was a new type of stalking" - WTF does that mean?
Looks like a lot of youtube community commenting on this are about to be jailed....... They just have to rewrite the law a bit to suit. Thank god I'm not living in that hellhole!
Alex 💪
So your the animal who got him sent to prison
Animal? Erm, ok. I am the victim that reported Belfield to the police for his crimes, and gave evidence against him in the trial where he was convicted by a judge and jury. If you want to support a criminal, go ahead. But Belfield is where he belongs.
Grow up
Piss off Yvonne.
Snitch. Freedom of speech has been breached.
Get a job 😂
🤢
mostly all of what you said isn't even illegal... Get locked up for finding info on people 😂 get real.
set up
belfield is innocent
I guess you missed the fact that he was found guilty and is in prison.
shhhhhh
Who are you?
😂
😂? you do know by watching my video you make me money, and by commenting on it, you grow my channel by enhancing my algorithm. So who’s laughing now? X
And you stalk us for money 😂😂😂
How exactly am I staking you? Am I sending you threatening emails, or finding you on social media to send you messages there, or finding out where your family live and emailing them, or phoning your mother to record the conversation to and then blackmailing me.
Because that is how Belfield stalked me, and that’s why he’s in prison.
