Pensioner accused of stalking BBC star after ‘sending gifts and going to her home'
A PENSIONER is accused of stalking a BBC Scotland news presenter for almost four years. Robert Green, 70, allegedly harassed the Beeb's Anne McAlpine between February 2021 and November 2024. 2 Green faces a charge of engaging in conduct which caused the 39-year-old journalist fear and alarm. It is claimed the OAP repeatedly sent letters, poems, cards and gifts for Miss McAlpine to the BBC Scotland headquarters in Glasgow's Pacific Quay as well as to her home. Green is also said to have turned up at her property uninvited, loitered outside and asked to come in. He then faces a separate charge that he was subject to an "undertaking" to appear at court in January this year in connection with the alleged offence. Green had been ordered not to approach, communicate or contact Miss McAlpine. But, it is claimed that on November 14 2024 he went near where she lived and again tried to get in touch with her. On a further charge sheet, Green is also said to have not shown at a court date in January this year. The case called this week for a summary hearing - a case with no jury - at Glasgow Sheriff Court. Green, of the city's Hillhead, was not present. His lawyer, Ron Mackenna said he had reported having "serious surgery" a few days earlier and was unable to leave home. A sheriff told the solicitor that Green must provide proof of that by this week or a warrant will be issued for his arrest. The case will be heard again at a later date. Miss McAlpine is best known for presenting Reporting Scotland and Landward. She has also been the narrator for Scotland's Home of the Year show.
