Days after the Aussie ‘Baby Reindeer’ Kobi Langshaw was convicted of stalking, unbelievable photos appeared online

EXCLUSIVE 

Australia’s ‘Baby Reindeer’ has been caught taunting her victims with sultry photos and secret messages after she was convicted of stalking them. 

Suburban mum-of-three Kobi Langshaw was last week jailed for five years on three counts of stalking and 21 counts of breaching a violence restraining order for offences committed in 2020.

Perth Magistrates Court heard the law clerk had pursued two male lawyers in a ‘deliberate, unrelenting and carefully calculated’ eight-year campaign.

Her obsession with Patrick Gardner, who she was infatuated with, and his best friend Aaron Herbert, who she detested, mirrored the hit Netflix show Baby Reindeer where a lawyer stalks a barman who showed her kindness.

But just days after being found guilty of stalking in May, Daily Mail Australia can now reveal Langshaw began a bizarre double life on TikTok which continued for months until the day before her sentencing on October 10.

Using video filters, she stripped years off her appearance to pose as a glamorous young student in university digs. 

But her online bio mocked her victims and their efforts to bring her to justice, with her profile photo reading: ‘Be like a butterfly – always beautiful but hard to catch.’

Langshaw is almost unrecognisable in the video clips, wearing revealing tops and fluttering her lashes while as she posed as a lovesick student, often posting several times a day.

Langshaw regularly updated her 217 followers from inside a tiny, sparsely furnished room containing just a desk and single bed as well as personal items. 

Throwing herself on to her childlike rainbow-coloured bedspread, with matching fluffy pillows, Langshaw giggled on camera as she mimed love songs while making heart-shape gestures with her hands.

With the hashtag caption #nocontact and a telephone emoji – referencing the severe restraining orders against her – she stared straight into the camera.

‘Reaching for the phone, I can’t fight it any more and I wonder if I’ve ever crossed your mind,’ she mimed in the disturbing clip. 

Langshaw has a rare lifetime ban from ever contacting her victims again which includes visiting areas where they work, live and have coffee.  

In other posts earlier this month, just days away from her sentencing, Langshaw  added a telling love quote to the end of a montage of altered photos of herself.

‘You’re the wrong person with who I lived my right love story, and I am the right person who entered your life by mistake,’ she posted.

The caption added: ‘You will never understand how much I suffered before us.’

But in a sinster warning, she added: ‘Season two coming soon.’

In their victim impact statements to court, both Mr Gardner and Mr Herbert said they felt ‘utterly helpless’ while enduring her relentless campaign against them.

Mr Gardner, who met Langshaw when she hired him for a family law matter, said he had struggled to be taken seriously when he tried to raise the alarm on her stalking.

But sentencing her last week, Magistrate Belinda Coleman branded Langshaw ‘very dangerous’ and said she was a high risk of offending.

 ‘It is clear she was and still is completely infatuated with Mr Gardner,’ she added.

Magistrate Coleman noted Langshaw was ‘highly skilled at lying to take advantage of others’ and was clearly still obsessed with him.

‘On the first occasion he gave evidence, she stopped taking notes and stared at him the entire time,’ said the magistrate. ‘He did her best to avoid her unrelenting gaze.

‘She even took her hair out of her ponytail and fluffed it around her shoulders in an attempt to draw his attention.

‘It was very unnerving.’
