A sick Polish woman was convicted Friday for cruelly pretending to be missing Madeleine McCann — but cleared of the more serious charge of stalking the UK girl’s long-tormented parents.
Julia Wandelt, 24, was found guilty of harassing Kate and Gerry McCann for over two years while claiming to be their missing daughter, who was just 3 when she vanished in 2007 while on vacation in Portugal .
She had even approached Kate McCann outside her home last December — then sent her a letter addressed to “mum,” the UK spelling of mom, which was “really distressing,” McCann testified.
Wandelt was sentenced to six months in prison, the maximum allowed sentence for harassment — which she has already served since her arrest earlier this year.
However, she was cleared of stalking the McCanns wit
