McGowan reportedly wanted revenge after Aitken did not continue their relationship after the one-night stand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMcGowan told police that after their one-night stand she had taken a pregnancy test, showing her to be pregnant. She had a miscarriage a week later but did not inform Mr. Aitken,\u201d the Mail reported.<\/p>\n<p>The pair had a brief encounter after a Tinder date in June 2019, and prosecutors said McGowan was angry over how Aitken ended their relationship. They had met on Tinder and exchanged messages for a few weeks before meeting in person and spending a night in a hotel room. Afterward, they continued to send messages for a few days but when McGowan asked for a second date, Aitken declined. She became angry when she learned she was pregnant and told Aitken, who, according to McGowan\u2019s defense attorney, \u201cmade it abundantly clear to her he did not want a child and wanted nothing to do with it.\u201d It was after this that McGowan had the miscarriage.<\/p>\n<p>She pleaded guilty to \u201ccausing fear and alarm by stalking over nine months\u201d and was sentenced on Wednesday to 150 hours of community service. During the nine months she stalked Aitken, she also demanded money for a bed while also telling him he would have no role in the baby\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>In court, prosecutors explained that McGowan had even convinced Aitken\u2019s parents that she was pregnant, gaining their pity, and was able to turn them against their own son, at least partially. At one point, her scheme was nearly uncovered when she visited a trampoline park where Aitken\u2019s brother worked. He described her as \u201cslim and not visibly pregnant\u201d when she should have been eight months along at that point.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo try and cover her tracks, she purchased a prosthetic baby bump, called to ask the park if it was suitable for pregnant women, and turned up looking \u2018heavily pregnant\u2019 a few days later,\u201d the Mail reported.<\/p>\n<p>Though she stalked Aitken, convinced his family that he would soon be a father and either have to stay with McGowan or give her child support each month, Sheriff Lindsay Foulis (a legally qualified judge) told the court that this was on the lower end of the stalking scale, ordering McGowan to provide 150 hours of community service and no jail time.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutor Tina Dickie, however, explained the damage McGowan had caused.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJamie Aitken said the messages and whole situation were causing disruption to him and his family and he stated he felt like she was turning his family against him,\u201d Dickie said in court, according to the Mail. \u201cThe mother states that she and her husband had spoken about the situation and they were concerned at first but began to feel excited at the prospect of having a grandchild and were embracing the whole situation. His mother soon realised the accused had an intense dislike for Jamie although she came across as quite nice and polite to her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aitken\u2019s mother told the police that McGowan \u201cwas so convincing I believed her that Jamie was not being supportive and ended up feeling very sorry for her and angry at Jamie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
