In July 1999 fifty-year-old Gary Dellapenta became the first man in America to be imprisoned for cyberstalkingt. In 1998 Dellapenta fell in love with Brandi Barber, a woman half his age.

Six perverts did - usually in the middle of the night and, in this special documentary from the Panorama team, Brandi Barber reveals the terror she felt, in her first interview since the stalking took place.
