A children’s nurse has been arrested and charged with allegedly harassing a politician after meeting her on a dating app.
The senior MP, who Daily Mail Australia has chosen not to name, was allegedly stalked and harassed by Adrianne McKinney, 39, via the nurse’s mobile phone and Instagram page Warmhoneyandmilk, after they met on Hinge.
McKinney also faces harassment charges against two other women and allegedly accessed one of their private hospital records with the intent to intimidate.
A former specialist children’s nurse at Randwick Children’s Hospital has been stood down from the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPA) amid police investigations.
Ms McKinney, who is from the Hunter Valley and moved to Sydney in 2016, is also accused of using her father’s email account to threaten and harass.
The alleged harassment and stalking campaigns against the three women took place between March 2022 and April 2024 in Sydney and in Tenambit, near Maitland.
Detectives first arrested Ms McKinney on April 17 in the Hunter Valley and charged her with seven alleged offenses at Maitland police station.
Then, in May, police filed seven more charges against her, including five counts of harassment.
Adrianne McKinney (above) faces multiple charges of harassment.
Adrianne McKinney (above) allegedly harassed and stalked three women and is also accused of accessing a woman’s hospital records for the purposes of intimidation.
He is charged with one count of possession of data with intent to commit a serious computer crime and police have filed restraining orders on behalf of the three alleged victims.
The AVOs prevent Ms McKinney from coming within 300 meters of Parliament House or entering the suburbs of the MP’s electorate, plus ten other suburbs or constituencies.
He is also prevented from having any electronic devices capable of sending messages, and only has access to a “dumb” phone.
The charges against her were listed in separate courts in late July and early August.
The MP’s office said the politician would not comment on the matter.
Daily Mail Australia has sought a response from NSW Health.
Adrianne McKinney is prevented from entering the suburbs of the MP’s electorate or coming within 300 meters of Parliament House.
