A woman who claimed to be Madeleine McCann has been found guilty of harassing the McCann family. The trial took place at Leicester Crown Court, with live coverage from BBC News. The woman, identified as Julia Wandelt, was accused of stalking the McCanns, who went missing in 2007. The jury found Wandelt not guilty of stalking but guilty of harassment, a lesser charge. The court is now discussing possible restraining orders. The trial lasted for seven-and-a-half hours, with the courtroom convening for the verdicts. Karen Spragg, another woman involved in the case, was cleared of stalking but also found not guilty of harassment. The court heard that harassment carries a maximum sentence of six months, and both women are likely to be subject to restraining orders. The trial's conclusion saw emotional reactions from both parties, with Spragg sobbing as she left the court and Wandelt whispering a message of hope to Spragg as the verdicts were read out.
