De Wilde said that between January and August 2024, Barton published 48 posts relating to Aluko on his X account, adding that he had “carried out a deliberately targeted public campaign of vilification”.<\/p>\n
He said one post included an image of Aluko’s head superimposed onto serial killer Rosemary West’s body.<\/p>\n
“The campaign amounted to an attack on multiple aspects of her life and personality.”<\/p>\n
“Mr Barton’s campaign caused Ms Aluko enormous distress. When she sought to defend herself against Mr Barton’s conduct, and that of his followers, he criticised and attacked her for doing so,” he added.<\/p>\n
De Wilde said Aluko was worried that however she tried to stop the harassment, Barton “would exploit and manipulate it to use against her”.<\/p>\n
The barrister said: “Mr Barton has now accepted that his campaign against Ms Aluko amounted to harassment and that he should not have made the publications.”<\/p>\n
According to a court order seen by the Press Association, Barton has been told to pay \u00a3339,000, with the first \u00a3100,000 plus interest due by March 24.<\/p>\n
Justice Nicholas Lavender granted Barton seven days to ask to change the order.<\/p>\n
Aluko attended the London court earlier and said: “I’m glad it’s the end.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
