A stalker who terrorised a woman with disturbing gifts while in disguise faces jail after being unmasked. Mason Rogers, 22, left a series of items on the doorstep of a 24-year-old woman – who was not known to him – over a period of more than ten months.

His campaign began in February 2024 when he left a limited-edition Valentine’s Day figurine in a bag outside the victim’s home in Hailsham, Sussex – nearly ten miles away from his home in Eastbourne. Following the incident, the victim set up a doorbell camera, which six months later showed a man in a Spiderman mask – later discovered to be Rogers – posting a parcel through her letterbox.

Wrapped in birthday-themed wrapping paper, it contained a book based on a TV show the victim liked as a child. A card inside said ‘happy six months and seventeen days since’ the last gift and had a printed QR code linking to a video called ‘My Stalker’.
Rogers returned in December – now wearing a baseball cap and face mask – and left another package containing a doorbell camera and an interior CCTV camera. It contained another card, which this time said ‘happy ten months and sixteen days since you found out you had a stalker’.
Rogers was identified and arrested following police enquiries and a public appeal for information. Inside his home, officers found a handwritten note of the victim’s name and address, the same wrapping paper used for the gifts, and a diary with notes about the victim’s personal life and more gifts he wanted to get her.
