A children's nurse has been arrested and charged with allegedly stalking a female 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 39-year-old Adrianne McKinney via the nurse's mobile phone, and Instagram page warmhoneyandmilk, after they met on Hinge.
Ms McKinney is also facing stalking charges against two other women and allegedly accessing one of their private hospital records with intent to intimidate.
The former Randwick Children's Hospital specialist child nurse has been stood down from 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 menace and harass.
The alleged campaigns of stalking and harassment of 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 offences at Maitland police station.
Then in May, police laid a further seven charges against her including five charges of stalking.
She is charged with one count of possessing data with intent to commit serious indictable computer offence, and police have taken out AVOs on behalf of the three alleged victims.
The AVOs prevent Ms McKinney from going from within 300m of Parliament House or entering the suburbs of the MP's electorate, plus ten other suburbs or precincts.
She is also prevented from having all electronic devices capable of sending messages, and only having access to a 'dumb' phone.
The charges against her are listed in separate courts in late July and early August.
The MP's office said the politician would not be making any comment about the matter.
Daily Mail Australia has sought a response from NSW Health.
