In May 2018, Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was sentenced to 13 months in jail for contempt of court after live-streaming outside a criminal trial, in violation of reporting restrictions.

The case was then referred to the attorney general, who stated that it was in the public interest to introduce fresh proceedings. Robinson claims that the case against him is politically motivated.
