He sent disturbing parcels to the station’s London studios between 2020 and 2024.

The parcels included an air gun, handcuffs, a police uniform, and unsettling letters.

Both women said they felt terrified, with Klass describing the experience as "sheer terror."

The campaign of harassment escalated over several years.

Windsor, who has schizophrenia, pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.

However, jurors convicted him after deliberating for more than four hours.

Sources detail the breadth and nature of the harassment.

Items sent to Klass included an air pistol, handcuffs, a police uniform, and letters.

Breathwick received a DIY will-writing kit, handwritten notes, binoculars, perfume, and running shoes.

Tabloid coverage adds further specifics, mentioning gifts such as fancy dress costumes and jewelry.

There were sexualized requests for Klass to “correct him” with a whip and cane.

Claims state that between 80 and 100 items were sent to Breathwick over nearly four years.

Some parcels were intercepted at Global radio’s office.

Beyond the parcels, multiple outlets report Windsor also sent a letter to former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon that was described as signed “in blood” and pledging his soul to Satan.

Windsor later called the letter a joke.

In court, he admitted the postings were a “pretend weird” acting performance.

One report adds he sought media attention to highlight the struggles of long-term benefit recipients.

Sky News further notes he was not prosecuted for the letter.

Judicial remarks and next steps vary slightly by outlet.

Reports say sentencing is scheduled for next month with prison or hospital orders possible.

Judges noted both the trauma to victims and Windsor’s previous good character.

Some local outlets specify the venue as Warwick Crown Court, while others do not.

A separate local report adds the judge called the trial “somewhat unusual.”

The judge outlined options of a prison sentence or hospital order.

The defence noted Windsor’s use of aliases and that no one was instructing him to stop.

Coverage of the chronology and risks varies across sources.

Some reports state the stalking occurred from March 2020 to August 2024.

Sky News reports that Windsor was arrested in January 2023 after using multiple aliases.

The London Evening Standard notes that police assessed the air pistol as potentially fatal at close range.

Tabloid reports claim police intercepted the weapon before it reached Klass.

Tabloids also differentiate the durations of stalking per victim, with nine months targeting Klass and nearly four years for Breathwick.

This distinction highlights the sustained impact on the Classic FM team.
