A man has admitted to stalking Liverpool footballer Marie Hobinger by sending her inappropriate and sexualized messages through Instagram. The 42-year-old suspect also included his contact details and invited her to visit him.
The communications, described as often sexually explicit, occurred between late January and mid-February 2025. The player, who is from Austria, grew increasingly concerned and blocked the suspect. He persisted, however, travelling to a match on February 16, 2025, where he was found waiting for her pitchside.
Following the incident at the Joie Stadium, police were involved, and the man was questioned. He has since pleaded guilty to stalking charges related to the electronic communications he sent to the midfielder earlier this year.
