LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: A Polish woman claiming to be Madeleine McCann has reportedly received threats of legal and criminal action over some of her claims regarding the disappearance of the three-year-old toddler. This comes after Julia Wandelt, 21, claimed she was molested as a child by a man who looked similar to a police sketch of a former suspect in McCann's case. The lawyer representing the man, who supposedly abused her, has demanded she stops associating his client with the unsolved case. 

The alleged molester has reportedly been identified as Peter Ney, according to Radar Online. "I call on you to immediately stop the grave violation of his personal rights – defaming him, publishing in the media a verdict from many years ago, and implying that he has something to do with the missing Madeleine McCann," the lawyer said in a letter. "If you do not stop such actions – I will file a lawsuit against you for violations of personal rights and consider further steps on the criminal level," read the letter dated March 2, 2023.

CALIFORNIA DREAMING: Julia Wandelt, who claims she's Madeleine McCann, is 'enjoying her new lifestyle’

Wandelt's PI believes the letter was meant to 'intimidate' her

Wandelt has previously told her private investigator Dr Fia Johansson that she was molested when she was seven-year-old by a man who resembles a former suspect in McCann's disappearance. The 21-year-old has mentioned another instance where she found a photo of the man who abused her in her grandmother's house and claimed that her grandmother told her "something" about the case of the missing toddler who vanished from her bedroom while on holiday with her parents in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007. This has led the self-proclaimed psychic to declare that letter was sent to "intimidate" the woman from revealing an alleged sex trafficking ring.

'You need to shut up'

"They are trying to scare the c*** out of her," said Dr Johansson who plans to pass on the letter to investigators in California who are looking into the series of death threats Wandelt received which compelled her to move to the US from Wroclaw, Poland. “The lawyer wants her to stop talking about [her alleged abuser] and the Madeleine McCann case. They are telling her 'you need to shut up!' That’s just another sign to me that something is going on. If they don’t have anything to hide, why are they so scared of Julia talking about Madeleine McCann while she’s in the United States?"

Wandelt, on the other hand, believes that the abuse she received points to her possibly being McCann. The Polish woman became a worldwide sensation after claiming that she was the missing three-year-old on social media. As of now, all her social media accounts, including TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram have been removed. She currently operates through Johansson's Instagram profile. The pair is currently residing somewhere in Los Angeles after flying from Poland.
