Writing in her column with the Mail Online, she said she used to look at social media “almost obsessively” and said her daughters were left “concerned” about her.
Duncan Bould, defending Davies, said he sustained PTSD while serving with the armed forces in Iraq.
He added that Carl had continued to work in Iraq as a close protection officer after leaving the forces and had very little treatment for the condition.
Mr Bould said: “He has, it seems, heavily self-medicated, using largely alcohol as medication. It seems it is in that context these offences were committed.”
He went on to say that Carl had initially pleaded not guilty to the two offences of stalking, causing serious alarm or distress, because he could not recognise the behaviour and now believed it must have been done when he was heavily intoxicated.
