A man who repeatedly posted online abuse towards a Jewish football journalist has been convicted in court, Sussex Police have said.

Police said Kerry Hardwell, 35, from Bognor, sent anti-Semitic messages to a fellow supporter of Chelsea Football Club.

Police said Hardwell directed abuse at Dan Levene, who had formerly covered Chelsea Football Club as a journalist and campaigned against racism and antisemitism in football.
