Warrington Magistrates' Court was told the pair had a one-night stand in December 2024 after meeting in a pub.
Andrew did not want a relationship at the time and in March 2025, he spurned White's advances on a night out in Blackpool.
Elizabeth Browne, prosecuting, said: "On April 11, the complainant lent £20 to the defendant but she did not pay it back and he asked her to leave him alone.
"The defendant then posted Mr Crosby's personal details on Facebook, accusing him of being a woman beater.

''On April 18, she went to Mr Crosby's address and started shouting towards him, calling him a 'rapist' and a 'paedophile'. These are all untrue allegations.
"He called 999, told her to leave him alone and blocked her. But on April 19, he received messages asking to be unblocked and got a call from a number he did not recognise and a text message saying 'Hello. 'Do not ring the police on me again'."
White was arrested and later bailed on the condition she did not contact Andrew again.
But over a ten-day period sent him small amounts of
money
via online bank transfers with messages in the reference saying: "Love you always, Kirsty White."

White also contacted Andrew on Facebook using different profiles and sent him two parcels.
Andrew was forced to flee his home with his parents as a result of the harassment and is now believed to be sofa surfing with friends.
He told police how his mum ended up in hospital with stress and his dad, who suffers from
epilepsy
, also suffered seizures during the stalking campaign.
Andrew added: "As a result of this crime, I suffer severe anxiety and I am constantly looking behind my back.

''Kirsty had been stayed with her father over the road from me and this has caused my family a lot of stress and put a stain on our relationship. It caused me to become physically sick due to Kirsty constantly trying to contact me and also trying to get my attention.
"Kirsty has been messaging my family and friends asking for my address. I am very wary of other people due to this. It will take a lot to trust anyone.
"It has taken over my life. I feel I see Kirsty everywhere I go. I should not have to live like this. I feel very vulnerable.
"I have to constantly watch what I am doing, and who I am talking to. I feel she is constantly trying to ruin my life."

As well as a jail sentence, White was also ordered to £400 in compensation and slapped with a five-year restraining order.
Sentencing, JP Jeffrey Dodd said: "I think everyone is in agreement that this is a really serious offence.
"We have been swayed by the victim impact statement. We feel Mr Crosby has had his life significantly impacted by your actions."
