Laura Woods’ obsessed stalker Harneet Kaur ‘knows she did wrong & will learn from mistakes’, family friend says

LAURA Woods’ stalker knows that she did wrong and that she “will learn from her mistakes”, a friend says.

Harneet Kaur, 25, became infatuated with Woods and harassed her over a two year period, even sending a sexual health test kit to the broadcaster’s home.

Harneet Kaur was sentenced to 14 months in prison as well as having a restraining order placed on her

A family friend has now revealed Kaur was originally trying to contact Woods over promoting an eating app.

But, the contact turned to harassment with Kaur sending terrifying threats to kill Woods’ dog and sending Bibles, sexual health tests and food orders to the broadcaster’s London home.

The harassment campaign had an “enormous and devastating” effect on the presenter, Woods said in her victim impact statement.

The family friend said that Kaur had been working in a sales job for a window company before being laid off during Covid.

The friend said: “Harneet has done wrong, she accepts that, her family accepts that and has served her time and will learn from her mistakes.”

“The good news for her is that she has a very supportive family and she will move on from this.”

Harneet’s family live in a smart semi-detached house in Walsall, West Mids.

Her father, an accountant, came to Britain as a seven-year-old to join his own father and has four children with his wife, of which Harneet is the second youngest.

Messages posted by Kaur online called Woods a “vile, stuck-up person”, a “Tory“, and even labelled her a “former prostitute who slept herself into a job”.

In October, Kaur posted a message saying “wtf is that coke head doing at Anfield” as well as a photo of Woods‘ face on the body of an “overweight man”.

Judge Talog Davies said Woods was initially “pleasantly surprised and thought it was a mistake or somebody being nice” by a donuts delivery order.

Woods posted a picture on her Twitter account saying the donuts had “made her evening”, but it was part of the harassment campaign.

Kaur was arrested in April 2022 and re-arrested in August later the same year.

Her phone and iPad were seized both times, but that the arrests failed to stop Kaur harassing Woods.

Sentencing her to 14 months in prison, the Judge said Kaur would have known the impact she was having on Woods.

Prosecutors said Kaur’s actions had left Woods with a “real fear” that the defendant would get close to her while she was working.

Kaur has been banned from contacting Woods and 14 other people, and cannot go within 500m of her home.

Laura Woods has been approached for comment.
