A woman who impersonated a Home and Away heartthrob to catfish women online is accused of attempting to bust up a married man s relationship after becoming infatuated with him.
Melbourne woman Lydia Abdelmalek, 29, was sentenced in June 2019 to a two-year, eight-month prison term for six counts of stalking, employing what one victim called sick mind games and impersonating soap star Lincoln Lewis.
On Monday she was released back into the community on bail after being locked up on April 22 amid fresh allegations she is again tormenting strangers.
