Sir Idris Elba to face ‘stalker’ in court as date set for trial of woman ‘who targeted actor and his wife’
SIR Idris Elba is due to give evidence in the trial of a woman who allegedly stalked him and his wife.
The defendant is to face court next year after being arrested and charged.
The Sun told last year how actor Idris, 53, and his wife Sabrina, 36, had allegedly received unwanted emails and other communications.
The woman was also said to have turned up at private events in London, which the couple attended separately on different days.
A source said: “These events were seriously distressing for Idris and his family.
“He had no choice but to report it to the authorities.”
The woman, in her 30s, was arrested in October and in November denied five harassment-related charges at Kingston crown court, South West London.
She has been released on bail.
Luther star Idris is expected to take the stand in the trial pencilled in for May 2027.
The Met Police said: “A woman has been charged following an investigation.
“The charges follow an arrest on Sunday, 26 October, 2025.”
