Philippa Copleston-Warren, 45, was accused in a London court of using the virtual assistant to flash the lights inside her former boyfriend’s house on and off and tell his new sweetie to scram after he ended their relationship of two years, The Sun reported.
“The defendant spoke through the Alexa account to tell the complainant’s friend in the property to leave and to take her stuff,” prosecutor Misba Majid told Westminster Magistrates’ Court, according to the newspaper.
“This so distressed the girlfriend, it caused her to cry and she left.”
Copleston-Warren (inset), a management consultant, controlled the device from London, about 130 miles from her businessman ex-beau’s house in Lincolnshire, the paper reported.
She is also accused of hacking her ex’s Facebook account and uploading nude pictures of him. more
