Abigail George, a 38-year-old woman, has been sentenced to three years in jail for her fraudulent actions. George, who was posing as a chiropodist, took advantage of a vulnerable pensioner by examining her feet and stealing her purse. The victim, who has since passed away, was under the impression that George was there for a scheduled appointment with her friend.
During her 30-minute visit, George engaged in friendly conversation with the elderly woman and even shared a cigarette with her. She then promised to return in a few days to provide further treatment. However, when the victim checked her bag after George left, she discovered that £555 in cash was missing from her purse.
After being arrested and released on bail, George was caught attempting to smuggle cocaine into prison by hiding it in her mouth and kissing her imprisoned boyfriend. According to prosecutor Helen Towers, she was observed on CCTV passing the drugs to her boyfriend, who then hid it in his trousers. The court was informed that George felt compelled to do so as she was under threat.
During the trial at Newcastle Crown Court, it was revealed that George had become addicted to drugs after starting a relationship with her boyfriend, who is a felon. She also worked as a senior carer at a dementia unit. Her lawyer, Katie Spence, stated that George was a victim of domestic abuse and coercion and had turned to criminal activities to fund her heroin addiction.
Despite her circumstances, Judge Tim Gittins sentenced George to 40 months in prison, stating that she was aware of the victim's vulnerability and the consequences of bringing drugs into jail. He also emphasized the dangers of drugs in prison.
However, George's defense lawyer argued that she is now drug-free and regrets her actions. She also has a good chance of rehabilitation and is determined to turn her life around.
In conclusion, Abigail George's deception and drug addiction have led her down a destructive path. Her actions not only harmed the victim but also put her own life at risk. It is now up to her to take responsibility for her actions and work towards a better future.
