Breen operates on social media behind anonymous accounts, often posting from the early hours of the morning and late at night.

He is the individual behind the following anonymous social media accounts:

  • Twitter – @TinkerBanket | @GroupEduco | @educofirebird

  • Instagram – educonworld

  • Reddit – u/vardypartykodi | u/throwawayeducovictim

These are the ones that are known to be operated by him. Some were suspended by the platform moderators, however there may be more.

Facebook, LinkedIn & Reddit – Breen was removed² from these platforms as a result of several complaints, and being found guilty of such actions as copyright infringement and harassment.

A BRIEF RECENT HISTORY

A Stalker & Criminal

In approximately 2002, Breen’s relationship with a then girlfriend ended.

Breen then proceeded to stalk the newly single girl.

A police complaint was raised and Breen was arrested by the UK Metropolitan Police for harassment and stalking. Subsequently a legal restraining order³ was imposed on him.

Psychiatric Problems

Breen broke the conditions of the restraining order and was, according to Breen, arrested again by the police at his place of work, and in front of his work colleagues. This caused Breen further psychiatric problems, including a form of Tourette’s Syndrome.

As well as commencing treatment for PTSD with the UK National Health Service (NHS) during week commencing 9th May 2022, Breen has also experienced bouts of Psychosis.

Police Protection

The last time he saw this ex-girlfriend was when he stalked her along Sutton High Street, approximately 20 years ago, and then followed her into Sutton police station, where she was given police protection from him.

Recent Relationship

According to Breen, his most recent girlfriend, and one with whom he appeared to have a serious relationship with, died.

Breen however does not make it clear which year she died in. In one Twitter post he states November 2020 and in another post he calculates it as being in November 2019.

After her death, Breen returned to stalking again; this time using a cyber approach with his anonymous social media accounts, pseudonyms and technical know-how. He has been described as a mentally unstable sociopath¹⁰, hiding in the dark and attacking others from the murky shadows.

Cyber Stalker

In November 2020, after approximately 20 years, Breen redirected his attention to his former girlfriend, who he had physically stalked after their relationship ended and resulting back then in a restraining order being imposed on him.

From this time, Breen cyberstalked¹¹ and harassed, using several anonymous social media accounts, not only this former girlfriend of his but also her entire family and extended family, including making several comments about her elderly mother and her deceased father in the most disrespectful manner. Breen also did the same to her friends and acquaintances, and made malicious allegations about her to her employers.

Hate Speech

Breen has libelled¹² and slandered¹³ several other people, even phoning to speak with employers and associates to make what has been described as ludicrous, malicious and unfounded claims, including regarding sexual assault and human sex-trafficking. When these organisations failed to take him seriously, with some reporting him to the police, he began attacking them¹⁴.

Breen often calls people vile and unsavoury names and threatens them. Some of his posts and comments have been agreed by the police as being hate speech, vile, misogynistic, nationalistic, racist, malicious, threatening and abusive¹⁵.

Seminars

Having discovered that this former girlfriend of his had attended particular seminars and courses, Breen also started harassing other attendees as well as the organisers themselves. He also started attacking unrelated courses and disciplines, and always using his anonymous accounts and pseudonyms.

Never Attended

Breen states that he has never attended any of the seminars and courses he attacks, or studied any of the disciplines he complains about¹⁶. Yet he has been described as being unnaturally obsessed about them.

On 13th May 2021, Breen made a startling admission to physically turning up at the home of one of the seminar leaders on 26th April 2021, taking photographs of their property and later posting these online, along with the address¹⁷. Local police being aware of this.

Breen constantly posts anonymously on social media how he feels that ‘groups’ are ‘attacking’ him¹⁸ and he once stated that he would happily go to prison for ‘the fight’¹⁹. Yet it appears that every time he gets arrested, he complains²⁰ bitterly about it in an anxious manner.

Arrested Development

Recently, several police complaints, spanning many UK police forces, have been made against Jonathan Breen beginning in November 2020.

The first of these resulted in Breen being arrested again and subsequently attending court²¹ in London on 8th April 2021 on charges of harassment.

Psychiatric Assessment

The case was adjourned so that a psychiatric assessment²² of Breen could be made. He was then released on bail.

The hearing went ahead on 6th May 2021 where Breen pleaded not guilty. A trial date was set for 13th September 2021, with Breen once again remanded on bail.

During this time, Breen claimed that the victim he was harassing was orchestrating all of this simply to ‘silence him’²³.

Found Guilty

At his trial on 13th September 2021, Breen was found guilty of the crime of one count of harassment, contrary to section 2(1) and (2) of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, against his former girlfriend. Breen was again released on bail, awaiting his sentence.

On 4th October 2021, Jonathan Breen was sentenced to the following:

  1. Pay Costs – £395.00 GBP Total. £300.00 to the UK Crown Prosecution Service. £95.00 to fund Victim Services.

  2. Community Order made Rehabilitation Activity Requirement²⁴ (known as ‘RAR’) – 30 DAYS.

  3. Curfew²⁵ Requirement with Electronic Monitoring²⁶4 MONTHS. Curfew details: Daily between 7:00pm and 7:00am.

  4. Restraining Order made for the defendant in the following terms: Not to contact directly or indirectly, not to post anything online referring to the victim directly or indirectly – 3 YEARS.

Public Domain

The UK Criminal Justice System states that verdicts and sentences in criminal cases, such as stated here, are a matter of public record. Under English Law it is a general principle that criminal court proceedings for adults should be held openly and in public. The verdict and sentence are given out in open court and so are in the public domain.

Despite the above sentencing, Breen continues to cyberstalk and harass the family, friends and acquaintances of the victim (his former girlfriend) and those others mentioned. The police have commented that Breen clearly has no regard for the law.

#MeToo

Before the above court case was heard, and utilising his software programming background, Breen also took the time to personally create a website dedicated to attacking and spreading further misinformation, libelling his victim and her family.

This website was later removed from its platform by the American hosting company following Breen’s trial and his subsequent conviction for harassment of a woman.

Despite stalking a woman for the second time, despite at trial being found guilty of harassing a woman for the second time and despite being convicted for the second time for having committed this crime against a woman, this man Jonathan Breen continues to depict himself as the victim and openly uses #MeToo²⁷ on his social media posts.

Current Police Investigations

Jonathan Breen is currently being investigated by several UK police forces and has the following open criminal cases against him:

  1. Surrey Police – Harassment, Malicious Communications and Stalking.
  2. Warwickshire Police – Harassment in relation to a Disability and Racism.
  3. Thames Valley Police – Harassment and Racism.
  4. Metropolitan Police – Harassment.
  5. Gloucestershire Police – Online Harassment and Racism.
  6. Metropolitan Police – Harassment.
  7. Warwickshire Police – Hate Speech and Racism.
  8. Metropolitan Police – Harassment.
  9. Surrey Police – Malicious Communications.

In the UK when a criminal case is opened, there will be sufficient evidence to present to the Crown Prosecution Service.

Secure Mental Health Facility

Since November 2020, Jonathan Breen has been arrested multiple times and questioned under caution by police on several occasions as part of their ongoing investigations against him.

On 19th October 2021, only 15 days after being sentenced in court, Breen was arrested once again in a separate police investigation, having all his electronic equipment seized²⁸.

After being questioned by the Metropolitan Police, Breen was assessed by an approved mental health professional and subsequently sectioned²⁹ under the UK Mental Health Act (1983). As a result of this psychiatric examination, Jonathan Breen was detained in a secure mental health facility³⁰ for 15 days³¹.

Facts & Truth

Through his constant and anonymous social media posting, Jonathan Breen attempts to detail conspiracy theories, continuously positioning himself as a victim.

The truth is that these are the facts:

  1. Since the death of his most recent girlfriend, Breen has been found guilty and sentenced for cyberstalking and harassing his former girlfriend, for the second time.
  2. Breen’s criminal punishment includes being held under curfew with electronic monitoring for 4 months and being sentenced to yet another restraining order lasting 3 years.
  3. In a separate case of harassment, Breen was examined and assessed by a mental health professional and subsequently sectioned under the UK Mental Health Act.
  4. Breen continues to maliciously attack individuals, courses and course providers he has no first-hand knowledge or direct experience of.
  5. There are at least 9 open criminal cases against Breen, including for Hate Speech and Racism, currently being investigated by various UK police forces.

These are the consequences of Jonathan Breen’s own actions, and not for any other reason as he tries to make people believe. Keeping these facts away from his followers and anyone associating with him does not give them the complete picture. Is this dishonest of him?

Jonathan Breen has been described as a very strange man living in his own little bubble, taking no accountability for his own actions, and hell bent on ruining other people’s lives. This may be true; he has suffered a bereavement and he does have, by his own admission, psychiatric problems that include psychotic episodes.

Bearing all this in mind, the question for anyone who makes the time to read his anonymous posts and comments is, does he provide facts and truth?

For those who associate with him, has he made them fully aware of his criminal record and illegal activities, both past and present, or does he simply continue to mislead us all?
