US citizen Jason Penrose, 49, was sentenced to 22 months in jail, suspended for two years, for one count of stalking and two counts of breaching an interim stalking order.
He has also agreed to be repatriated to the US after he admitted to stalking The Crown star. Penrose was given a stalking protection order in July after sending Ms Foy, 38, thousands of emails and turning up at her door.
She was horrified when Penrose turned up at her home on 17 December last year and repeatedly rang her doorbell, Thames Magistrates court heard. Last month, Penrose pleaded guilty to stalking Ms Foy between August 2021 and February 2022.
Penrose also admitted two charges of breaching an interim stalking ban order by sending a letter and a parcel to Ms Foy. His sentencing trial was adjourned in December after the court was sent a letter warning he would continue to write to the star. He was sentenced at the Old Bailey in central London yesterday.
The court previously heard that Penrose sent Ms Foy's publicist Emma Jackson more than 1,000 explicit emails, including one referring to rape.
