Fined £250, ordered to pay £100 victim surcharge and £85 prosecution costs

About these records: Each record is compiled from a published media report or other publicly available source, and reports a sentence as it was published. It is general information, not legal advice, and it is not a criminal record check: it must not be used to make decisions about anyone's employment, housing, credit or insurance.

Offence names marked with an asterisk (*) follow the wording used in the report and may not match the formal legal charge. A record does not suggest that the person named has committed any other offence. Convictions can be overturned, and sentences changed, on appeal after a report is published. Records that share a name are separate records and may concern different people.

Records are removed once a conviction is likely to be spent under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, and older records are removed in any event after a maximum listing period. Our Editorial and Safeguards Policy explains how records are checked and what we never publish.
