Seetal went on to say that Mount faced a “bombardment of messages” from Sloan, who set up at least 21 different phone numbers to continue pursuing him.

The court also heard that Sloan has an alter ego named “devil baby,” In a message to Mount, Sloan wrote, “You and Ben (Chilwell) will be destroyed. Beware of devil baby Mason, I can morph in a second.”ย
Mount said in a statement: “She knows roughly where I live and where I train. I am worried when unable to contact me she might turn up at my training centre.” The court also heard Sloan also posted collages of Chilwell while attempting to make contact with him.ย
