However at one point he was sentenced to two years in prison for violence and became addicted to anti-depressant medication. He became slowly more estranged from his wife, often being seen shouting at her in public and sleeping alone with his wife sleeping in a tent. Three weeks before the attack, Osbourne began showing signs of bigotry after watching a docudrama about the Rochdale sexual abuse ring, at which point he accused all Muslims of being rapists and began accessing far-right [[Islamophobia|islamophobic]] material, in particular posts by the British group [[Britain First]], to the point of receiving messages from deputy leader [[Jayda Fransen]], as well as [[English Defense League]] founder [[Tommy Robinson|Tommy Robinson.]] It is believed that these messages, particularly those from Tommy Robinson, are what fully radicalised Osbourne, as they referred to [[Salman Abedi]] and claimed that he was part of a wider conspiracy to create a nation based on rape, hatred and Islam. Robinson also told Osbourne that Abedi's local mosque hosted radical preachers and held a [[Sharia]] court.
