TOMMY Robinson told a journalist “I’m coming to get you” and shared photos of his home on social media, a court heard today.
The far-Right activist – real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – allegedly caused the reporters to “fear violence would be used against them”.

Robinson, 42, appeared at Southwark Crown Court today charged with two counts of harassment causing fear of violence between August 5 and 7, 2024.
The court heard he shared multiple posts about the men on X, formerly Twitter, and in calls.
Robinson allegedly told one of the reporters “I’m coming to get you” while tweeting about how he tracked the pair down.
He is also accused of posting edited images of the journalist’s wife, daughter and the outside of his home.
Robinson wrote: “You will all be questioned on camera about how you think endangering children is ok.”
The court heard he also messaged one of the reporters saying he had his address and “I’ll be knocking on your door”.
Robinson allegedly continued: “Let your bosses known I’m coming to all your houses”
The activist had accused the journalists on X of endangering and ‘doxing’ (identifying) his children, it was said.
Robinson today pleaded not guilty to the charges and will stand trial on October 19, 2026.
A pre-trial review will take place on October 5 next year, with Robinson released on conditional bail.
He was previously bailed on the condition he does not contact any prosecution witness directly or indirectly and must not post anything online which would identify them.
The third condition stated he is “not to publish any comment relating to current proceedings that may prejudice either parties to proceedings or proceedings themselves other than those permitted by the Crime and Disorder Act.”
Robinson chose a jury trial – claiming he “never had” the opportunity before and wanted “12 members of the British public” to hear the evidence in the case.
A Crown Prosecution Service spokesperson earlier said: “We have authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, 42, with harassment causing fear of violence against two men.
“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active and that he has the right to a fair trial.”
