Tommy Robinson has been found guilty at Southwark Crown Court of harassing two Daily Mail journalists.
His supporters in the public gallery let out sighs of disappointment as the verdicts were given to the court.
Robinson, who gave his name in court as Stephen Lennon, stood still as the verdict was read out.
Wearing a navy suit with what appeared to be American flags on the back of his waistcoat, he sat down and shook his head quietly as the judge addressed the jury after the verdicts.
The jurors had deliberated for 11 hours and 25 minutes before coming to a majority decision of 10 to two.

The 43-year-old, who gave his full name to Southwark Crown Court as Stephen Lennon, is alleged to have harassed freelance journalist Andrew Young and Daily Mail editor Jacob Dirnhuber in August 2024.
Robinson is alleged to have acted as a ‘bully’ by hiring private investigators to find the addresses of the complainants, before posting pictures of Mr Dirnhuber outside his home and cropped images of Mr Young’s family members on his X account.
Speaking from the witness box during his trial, Robinson said he wanted to put ‘pressure’ on the journalists but denied that hiring the detectives was designed to ‘intimidate’ them.
Robinson, a former leader of the English defense League, entered not guilty pleas in July last year to two charges of harassment causing fear of violence.
