Stalkers Still Seeking Females

Hogg quotes Seán Manchester: 

"Anthony Hogg, Trystan Lewis Swale and Erin Chapman made clear their intention to pursue two women who I happen to know will resist any attempt to have their privacy compromised after all these years, but the trolling trio evinced no interest whatsoever in finding eye-witnesses identified with names and addresses in the Hampstead & Highgate Express in the early months of 1970." 

But somehow manages to omit the crucial remainder of his comment for some inexplicable reason:

"These eye-witnesses only differ from Elizabeth (I do not include Jacqueline because she is not 'Lusia' as falsely alleged by the stalkers) in one respect. None of the 'witnesses' to have written to the local newspaper in 1970 had any connection to me. Had they a connection to me they would doubtless be pursued to the ends of the earth by Hogg, Swale and Chapman who are out to grab their undeserved fifteen minutes of fame at the expense of innocent women and, of course, on the coat-tails of my book The Highgate Vampire and myself. What they are doing is morally unacceptable, and should be condemned for the stalking it clearly is. Incidentally, I know where both women are, and indeed spoke to one of them when the unholy trinity made their intentions known. She was horrified and spoke of contacting the police if any of them invade her privacy. What these trolls do not comprehend is that everyone has a right to privacy in the UK. Provided they have broken no laws themselves, which they haven't, to invade their privacy in the way that Hogg, Swale and Chapman are attempting is totally illegal."

Once again, Hogg is careful to name in full both women to make sure they can be identified for his stalking purposes. Elizabeth is identified in Seán Manchester's original account because she had gone on record at the time. But that was decades before the internet, and everyone's lives have moved on considerably. Jacqueline is erroneously cited as being a "primary witness" when she was nothing of the sort. Hogg chooses to buy into Farrant's nonsense about the identity of "Lusia," but it is as absurd as everything else Farrant utters. Hogg then makes this stupid and illogical remark:

"We have seen no evidence they do not want to be contacted."

What Hogg and his co-conspirators (Erin Chapman and Trystan Lewis Swale) fail to explain is how two women who do not want to be contacted by the unwholesome trio provide "evidence" that they do not want to be contacted. Are they supposed to contact their stalkers, and say "don't stalk me"? Would that not defeat the whole point if they don't want to be contacted? Let's face it, this could only be done in person, as any impersonal method of communication could easily be from someone else.

What Hogg and his fellow stalkers are asking is that their potential victims make their presence known in person, and only then - when they reveal themselves and where they can be reached - will their word be accepted that they really want nothing to do with those pursuing them. Any different method could easily be from another female claiming to be the women in question. Thus the victims are being asked to do their stalkers' work for them because the stalkers themselves have failed to run down their quarry. And isn't it odd that Hogg has put the word "women" inside inverted commas?

Chapman's comment in the wake of Hogg's is evidence to the extent of their stalking, and, as Seán Manchester has pointed out, every person in the UK has a right to a private life. What they are doing is illegal, as they shall no doubt eventually discover if this manic obsession does not come to a halt.
