Yet Barnes-Ross appears to be employed by Hap Solutions Group, a UK-based event staffing company whose seasonal workers often interact closely—and sometimes unsupervised—with vulnerable members of the public, minors included.
For someone with Barnes-Ross’ disturbing history, such access is not just inappropriate—it’s potentially a public safety risk.
If his own family is distancing themselves from the stalker, why should the public be forced into unwitting proximity to him?
Those concerns intensified on May 15, when Barnes-Ross was detained and handcuffed by Metropolitan Police in connection with an investigation into a conspiracy to commit criminal damage. Rather than showing remorse, Barnes-Ross boasted about the incident on social media in an apparent effort to gain credibility with his criminal peers.
This wasn’t an isolated lapse in judgement. Barnes-Ross has a well-documented history of harassment dating back more than a decade. In 2013, he obsessively stalked a female Church of Scientology staff member, sending her repeated, disturbing messages, invading her personal space, and even trailing her brother from carriage to carriage on a London train.
“I have literally no [control over] my feelings,” Barnes-Ross openly confessed.
When a media outlet later obtained a signed statement from his victim and questioned him about the allegations, Barnes-Ross did not deny a single one. By then, he had already escalated his harassment—publicly stalking another woman. The backlash was so severe, his own mother erased all mention of him from her website, deactivating her social media account.
Which begs the question: If his own family is distancing themselves from the stalker, why should the public be forced into unwitting proximity to him?
If Barnes-Ross harms someone again, how would Hap Solutions shoulder the consequences of the fallout?
Finally, why is the company that claims it “excels at elevating businesses” and “truly cares about our clients” apparently comfortable putting the public—even children—within arm’s reach of a man who “literally” can’t control himself?
