Kate Ritchie has been seen in public for the first time since it was revealed she received ‘hundreds’ of sexually explicit texts and videos from a stranger before he flew from Perth to track her down.
The former Home and Away star, 45, joined a friend for coffee at a café in Sydney on Monday.
Keeping warm in a Patagonia jumper, the Nova radio host kept a low profile in black activewear.
She wore black 3/4 leggings and black running shoes, while her dark hair was neatly tied back in a ponytail.
Ritchie went makeup-free for the coffee catch-up, and looked to be deep in conversation as she chatted with a friend at the outdoor dining table.
Earlier this month, it was revealed Ritchie made a phone call to NSW Police after receiving a message from Gerard Ryan, 71, which said he was in the suburb where she lives and hoped to find her.
He had sent her ‘hundreds’ of messages from February 2022 through to April 2023, including ‘numerous naked photographs of the accused and numerous videos of the accused masturbating’, police facts, seen by the Daily Telegraph, claimed.
Ryan was arrested at a park in Sydney‘s eastern suburbs last month and charged with stalking charge, which he pleaded guilty to. He was also hit with an apprehended violence order banning him from approaching Ritchie.
