Jermaine Pennant’s Babestation mannequin ex-wife was terrified by married stalker who blew £30,000 on her OnlyFans account and despatched her birthday and Christmas playing cards

Jermaine Pennant‘s Babestation model ex-wife was left terrified by a married stalker who blew £30,000 on her OnlyFans account and sent her birthday and Christmas cards.

Mark Inkster, 43, who believed he was in a real relationship with Alice Goodwin, 38, sent her more than 11,000 messages in which he professed his undying love for her over a two-year period.

He also found her address and sent flowers, birthday, Christmas and Valentine’s cards, Nottingham Crown Court heard.

Ms Goodwin, who is the ex-wife of former Arsenal and Liverpool footballer and reality TV star Jermaine Pennant, received around 50 messages a day from the married man. 

She said the messages made her feel ‘incredibly unsafe’ and that she is considering moving away due to the ‘trauma’.

In one message, the deluded 43-year-old said: ‘I could just imagine your face if (I) turned up at your doorstep.’ 

Inkster, who pleaded guilty to stalking, was handed a 12-month jail term, suspended for two years, and a five-year restraining order.  

Judge Philip Head said he became ‘completely obsessed’ with Ms Goodwin, who suffered anxiety and was forced to take three months off work.

‘Over a two-and-a-half-year period you became obsessed with your victim over two platforms – OnlyFans and Babestation. You subscribed and you exchanged messages,’ he said.

‘These messages were highly sexual and flirtatious. She was working on a TV programme called Babestation and you were viewing her on that platform as well. You spent the simply staggering sum of £30,000 on her OnlyFans account.     

‘She was receiving 50 messages a day. You were completely obsessed with her. She then blocked the account and you got around that by contacting her again and again with new accounts. 

‘You sent a Valentine’s card to her and followed that up with birthday and Christmas cards. One message said ‘like I told you, Alice, there is nothing you can do to stop me loving you because you are my twin flame.

‘It is clear what you did had a massive impact on her health and her work. She had to take three months off work and suffered untold anxiety. She had to install an alarm system and update her CCTV.’   

Dawn Pritchard, prosecuting, said Inkster paid £30,000 in subscriptions to Ms Goodwin’s OnlyFans account and in private one-to-one messages and videos with her between August 2021 and January 2022.

She said: ‘He would contact her daily, ask her details about her private life, send her messages on her personal and private Instagram accounts, bought tickets for events she said (on social media) she would be attending.

‘She talked about receiving 50 messages a day from him. He told her he was terminally ill. She tried to block him, but she estimates he set up thousands of accounts which were him.

Ms Goodwin said Inkster’s messages made her feel ‘incredibly unsafe’ and that she is considering moving away due to the ‘trauma’ (pictured 2018)

‘On February 14, 2023, he sent a Valentine’s card to her address and he also contacted her daughter on TikTok and Instagram. In May 2023, he sent messages to Babestation saying he would turn up at her address and said “I could just imagine your face if I turned up at your doorstep”.

‘He sent her messages on Skype saying there was nothing she could do to stop him loving her and that he loved her with every fibre of his body. He said they were “twin flames”.’

Ms Pritchard said Inkster was arrested and gave a prepared statement in an interview saying there were ‘no threats’ in his messages. 

She said Ms Goodwin had to install extra security and a panic alarm at her address as a result of the harassment. 

David Watts, mitigating, said Inkster is in £30,000 of debt from the subscriptions and is paying it back at £700 per month.

He said: ‘The key word is “obsession”. It was a most unfortunate obsession Mr Inkster developed with someone who puts herself in the public eye in a sexualised way. 

‘Unfortunately Mr Inkster in the messages demonstrates how he came to see her as being something of a soulmate. He has a good job with a major employer and is in a position of responsibility.’

The 43-year-old will also complete 140 hours of unpaid work, attend 40 rehabilitation sessions, and pay £1,000 in costs.
