Babestation ex-wife of Prem legend stalked by 'obsessed' fan who blew £30k on racy vids

A married man has received a suspended sentence after stalking Jermaine Pennant’s Babestation ex-wife Alice Goodwin. Mark Inkster, 43, appeared at Nottingham Crown Court on Thursday having bombarded Goodwin with over 11,000 messages, in which he stated he loved her and spent £30,000 on her adult website subscriptions.

The court heard how over a two year period, Inkster had also found her address and sent flowers, birthday, Christmas and Valentine’s cards to the former Arsenal and Liverpool winger’s ex-wife, believing he was in a genuine relationship with her.

Inkster was given a 12-month jail term, suspended for two years, with 140 hours of unpaid work and ordered to attend 40 rehabilitation sessions, as well as a five-year restraining order and being ordered to pay £1,000 costs.

Judge Philip Head said: “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.

“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 Only Fans 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.”

Inkster paid money to subscribe to Goodwin’s OnlyFans account and then paid extra to hold private one-on-one messages and videos with her. He is said to have spent £30,000 on the subscriptions between August 2021 and January 2022.

The prosecutor 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.

“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’.”

Goodwin said in a statement: “This has had a huge impact on me and I feel incredibly unsafe. I am considering moving away due to the trauma. He sent me 50 messages a day professing his undying love.”

David Watts, mitigating for his client, said Inkster got into £30,000 of debt 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.

“It is very much to her credit that Mrs Inkster, who is present in court today, will help him to continue to receive the support he needs.”
