A SCORNED woman who falsely accused her ex-lover of rape and ordered a fake baby bump off Amazon to make him think she was pregnant is facing years behind bars.

Jessica Nordquist, 25, was today found guilty of stalking after launching a chilling campaign against former boyfriend Mark Weeks that saw her even fake her own kidnap.

The American, who lived in Tower Hamlets, East London, began dating Mr Weeks in June last year but the pair split in November - sparking a harrowing campaign.

It began with a barrage of emails and Instagram messages from Nordquist who had created numerous different social media accounts, all for the purpose of harassing her ex.

Mr Weeks said he received emails from fake email accounts - including one in the name of a friend - saying Nordquist had been kidnapped and raped.

He also received photos of Nordquist tied up in her underwear attached to an email that read: 'Jessica Nordquist is the one who has been protecting your children from us. We raped and stole her tonight.'

Nordquist said she realised she was pregnant after she broke up with Mr Weeks in November.

She went with him to a clinic for an abortion but lied to Mr Weeks about having a termination.

She claimed she then miscarried.

Cops subsequently found internet searches on her devices for stalking and an Amazon order for a fake silicon baby bump, which she claimed was for a pregnancy party.

Nordquist, originally from Alaska, now faces years behind bars after she was convicted of two counts of stalking, two of sending malicious communications and one of perverting course of justice.

Giving evidence, Mr Weeks said he feared his career was over after Nordquist sent his colleagues emails claiming he had raped her.

He said: "There had been threats previously talking about sending messages to my clients.

"I thought this was doing serious damage to my career and my reputation. You think the worst. You think this is going to be career ending."
