Former Home and Away star Kate Ritchie copped ‘hundreds’ of sexually explicit texts and videos from a stranger and was forced to call the police when he flew from Perth to see her, a court has heard. 

The radio presenter and actress was forced to call NSW Police last week when she received a message from Gerard Ryan, 71, which said he was in the suburb where she lives and hoped to find her. 

He had sent her ‘hundreds’ of messages from February 2022 through to April 2023, including ‘numerous naked photographs of the accused and numerous videos of the accused masturbating’, police facts, seen by the Daily Telegraph, claimed.  

Ryan was arrested at a park in Sydney’s eastern suburbs last Wednesday and charged with stalking, which he pleaded guilty to. He was also hit with an apprehended violence order banning him from approaching Ritchie.
