Syal, who rose to prominence as one of the team that created ‘Goodness Gracious Me,’ has spoken about the moment she received the bizarre mail.

“There was a very sweet ex-army colonel guy in the West Country who used to send me letters with long anecdotes about his time in India and how lovely the Indian women were,” the Mirror quoted her, as saying.

“But after a while came the letter where he asked me to send a picture of myself in a bikini.

“I was like, ‘Do you know what? You sound old, so I’d better not, because I think it would probably finish you off,’” she added. (ANI)

Everything was going well until May 2007 when Lane emailed pictures of herself and friends, depicting her in a bikini, to the NFL Network’s Rich Eisen. These pictures found their way to the national media via her wife. Lane insisted that the pictures were harmless[6] and that she and Eisen have been “purely platonic” friends “for almost 10 years”, and that they “regularly exchange e-mail and photos”

Things seemed to have settled down but during December the same year, Lane was charged with one felony count of assault on a police officer.

This was followed by Lane’s release from her contract with KYW-TV. It said “The termination comes at a time when there has been absolutely no determination that Alycia is guilty of any wrongful conduct, and after KYW-TV has aired her categorical denial of the alleged charge that is pending against her. The termination is unfair because Alycia has never had an opportunity to defend against this charge, and tell her side of the story publicly, before KYW-TV has taken this unusual and unwarranted step to terminate her employment.”

Now, Alycia Lane is again in news as her ex-colleague Larry Mendte has been charged with accessing her e-mail box unlawfully and and intentionally accessing a protected computer without authorization. This could lead to serious consequences for Larry Mendte.
