Mum nearly fainted over what Google revealed about her new boyfriend

A 26-year-old mother discovered that her new boyfriend, Louis Martin, had a history as a convicted rapist after she conducted a Google search. The man, who had used an alias 'Louis Bonner,' had previously been jailed in 2007 for rape and was required to register as a sex offender. After learning about his criminal past, the woman felt faint and feared for her daughter's safety. Martin, who refused to accept the end of their relationship, harassed her relentlessly, including threatening to harm her and her family. He allegedly threatened to break into her home and even confronted her during a night out in Liverpool, demanding she reveal her location and warning her he would kill everyone with her if she left. The case highlights the dangers of online research revealing hidden histories and the potential risks posed by individuals evading legal accountability.
