MP Claudia Webbe has arrived at court to be sentenced for threatening to throw acid at a friend of her boyfriend.
The Leicester East MP, 56, has been warned her she could face prison after her campaign of harassment against Michelle Merritt.
She was convicted last month of harassing Ms Merritt Lester Thomas, by threatening to throw acid in her face and release naked images of the victim.
Webbe, 56, stood in the dock at Westminster Magistrates' Court wearing a dark dress and dark jacket.
Reading her victim personal statement from behind a curtain in court to shield herself from the defendant, Ms Merritt said: "She (Webbe) has made me feel very vulnerable, in public, in my own home. I was scared to go to my door.
"I had many sleepless nights. I would like to feel safe again.
"Due to Ms Webbe's position in government (sic), I don't know what she is capable of."
Ms Merritt's voice broke with emotion as she said she worried Webbe would "seriously harm" her.
She added: "My self confidence has plummeted, I have anxiety attacks, I have almost become a hermit.
"I have fallen into huge debt, I desperately wanted to move away from the area Ms Webbe said she knew I lived in."
She added: "I am so very proud I have had the strength to continue because no woman should be threatened or harassed the way she has to me over the years, least of all a politician."
