LAURA Wray said Baby Reindeer’s real-life Martha being thrust into the spotlight has brought back the horrors of her own stalking ordeal.
And she now fears for her own safety after claiming she has been the target of abusive online comments by the woman who “outed” herself as the twisted Netflix series character.
Laura, widow of former Labour MP Jimmy Wray, has watched aghast as her tormentor re-entered public life 22 years on since she secured an interim restraining order against her in 2002.
She spoke out after the real-life Martha gave an interview to Piers Morgan on Thursday.
Laura claims problems started as she gave the woman, a lawyer, a two-week trial at her Glasgow law firm in 1997. She lasted a week before being fired for abuse.
The woman, who we are choosing not to name, was even accused of reporting Laura to social services claiming falsely that Laura had hit her disabled child.
Laura said: “I hadn’t thought about her for years. I had forgotten so much of it. Every time someone says a comment, it triggers it again.
“Memories of things that she did. Some of her actions. It’s pretty distressing. Watching her last night [on Piers], how did I manage to cope with that for so long?
“My partner and I are concerned about what she might do next. Is she going to come after me?
“She is posting things on Facebook accusing me of all sorts, and of being abusive.
