美國一女子跟蹤並威脅殺死霍金 被捕後判緩刑

An American woman has receive a suspended jail sentences after she threatened to kill physicist Stephen Hawking.

美國一名女子在威脅稱要殺死物理學家史蒂芬·霍金之後，被判入獄，緩期執行。

The woman, known only as Jenny Theresa C, pleaded guilty to making 'serious threats' against the physicist. The court tried the woman after she refused to be seen by an expert who wanted to evaluate her state of mind.

該女子名爲珍妮·特麗薩·C，承認自己因“嚴重”威脅霍金而獲罪。法院對這名女子進行了審判，而她之前曾拒絕了一名專家想要對其進行精神狀態評估的請求。

A court source confirmed: 'The American citizen arrested for threatening Stephen Hawking has been released because the four month prison sentence she received was suspended as she didn't have a criminal record in Spain. As part of her sentence she is prevented from going within 500 metres of Professor Hawking and communicating with him via any means during an eight-month period. She has agreed to the sentence and recognised that she committed a crime of serious threats.'

來自法院方面的消息證實：“這名美國公民因威脅史蒂芬·霍金而被捕，但是她又被釋放了，因爲她在西班牙沒有犯罪記錄，所以她四個月監禁的處罰將緩期執行。作爲判決的一部分，在接下來的8個月時間裏，這名女子不能接近霍金500米以內的範圍，同時還不能以任何手段和霍金對話。她接受了這一判決，並且承認自己犯下了嚴重威脅罪。”

Police said: 'She had been pursuing Mr Hawking throughout the world and in the last few days had sent him grave threats through social media and to his personal email.

警方表示稱：“她一直在全世界各地追尋霍金的腳步，最近幾天她還通過社交媒體向霍金的個人郵箱發送了非常嚴重的威脅信息。”

'In the various emails he received she outlined plans to end his life during the scientific conference being held in Tenerife. Because of the information contained in the emails, it appeared the person sending them could have been inside the conference venue.'

“在他收到的衆多郵件中，有一封是該名女子計劃殺死他的詳細計劃，在郵件中該名女子曾計劃要在特內里費舉行科學會議期間殺死霍金。從這封郵件中所含有的信息來看，發送郵件的人可能已經潛入了會議場館裏。”

The 37-year-old woman was arrested in a hotel near where the world-famous physicist was due to speak.

最終，這名女子在一間賓館裏被捕，而這間賓館的旁邊就是霍金要發表演講的地方。

Local reports said the 74-year-old Oxford-born professor was also due to give evidence to a judge in a behind-closed-doors hearing at the court in the southern resort of Arona.

據當地媒體報道，這起案件將在西班牙阿羅納南部舉行閉門聽證會，而74歲的劍橋教授霍金也會出席，向法官陳述證據。

His family raised the alarm after he received messages which said: 'I'm going to kill you' and 'I'm next to you and can kill you.' The detention took place the same day the scientist gave a keynote speech at the centre as part of the Starmus Festival.

在收到威脅信息後，霍金一家都提高了警惕。這些威脅信息這樣說道：“我要殺死你”、“我就在你身邊，我能殺死你”。就在這名女子被捕的同一天，作爲“上帝粒子科學節”的一部分，霍金在該會議中心發表了一份主要講話。
