ISLINGTON, U.K. - eTradeWire -- I was wrongly accused and convicted of stalking after a visit to Claire's residence, where I had hoped to discuss a film project with her. I had met Claire through mutual friends, some of whom are well-known in the entertainment industry, and I believed she might be interested in collaborating on my film. I rang her doorbell once, and when she answered through the intercom, I waited for about two minutes for her to open the door. However, she did not let me in, and I left peacefully.

Unbeknownst to me, Claire's ex-husband was sitting in his car outside her house, and he called the police, who then arrested me. Despite being released from police custody immediately, I was subjected to a year-long ordeal in a psychiatric facility, two blocks from her home, where I was forced to undergo unnecessary treatment, including injections and medication. I was allowed to leave the facility unaccompanied for 12 hours a day, but I never returned to Claire's residence.

I was later smeared in the media with false accusations, including claims that I had intended to harm Claire, which was never true. These accusations were fueled by Claire's ex-husband, who had a vested interest in damaging my reputation. I have since learned that Claire had been receiving threatening messages from individuals impersonating me, which led her to believe I was a threat. However, these messages were not from me, and I had no intention of causing harm or distress.

I eventually received a suspended sentence and was allowed to return to the United States. However, the experience has had a lasting impact on my life, and I am now seeking to clear my name and restore my reputation. I believe that the truth about this situation has been distorted, and I am committed to setting the record straight. I hope that this statement will help to clarify the facts and provide a more accurate understanding of what really happened.
