Rebecca Batchelor, 21, who lived a ‘lavish’ lifestyle with money from fraudster ex-boyfriend’s scam that targeted vulnerable pensioners is spared jail

The 21-year-old (pictured) hit the headlines earlier this year after her team were sacked for 'distracting players' with their routines at the Essex football ground. They were subsequently re-instated

 

Our thanks to Ken for this. Extracts:

Sentencing at Chelmsford on Thursday, Judge Morgan told Batchelor: ‘I hope as time goes on you can reflect on your behavior.

‘I have read a great deal about you in the papers, not all of it throws a good light upon you as an individual, you are to a degree too naive, you had many advantages at your age [others] don’t have – had a business and a good family…

The judge said the online messages showed Batchelor in a ‘rather awful light’, while her defence lawyer argued on behalf of her ‘age, naivety and good character’.

The model, of Helena Road, Rayleigh, Essex, was given a 12-month suspended sentence, suspended for a year and a half…

The decision on how much she will have to repay has been adjourned to a later date. [J4MB: We’re guessing £100.00, at £1.00 per month.]…

Her ex-boyfriend Anis Ben-Sghaier , 25, of Chelsea Way, Brentwood, Essex, was branded a ‘lead player’ in the scam and given a total of five years behind bars, including six months for intending to supply cannabis.

  1. Heart warming to see justice working and to know that this promising brain surgeon’s career prospects have not been blighted. She is a promising brain surgeon, isn’t she? So many young female criminals seem to be.

     Oh, she'll reflect alright, on how she's 
  pretty on the outside.

    “you are to a degree too naive”.

      A rebuke so gentle it borders on a 
  compliment.

    “you had many advantages at your age [others] don’t have – had a business and a good family”.

        And therefore could have added
    'so should have known better'

    The judge went on to say:
    “the online messages showed Batchelor in a ‘rather awful light”.

        Oh I say, yes rather...how perfectly 
     beastly!

    While her defence lawyer argued on behalf of her ‘age, naivety and good character’.

        This would be the good character
    that targeted vulnerable pensioners
    would it?

    The model, of Helena Road, Rayleigh, Essex, was given a 12-month suspended sentence, suspended for a year and a half…

       After which she'll do it all over again.
   Nice one.

  4. Once again,the lavish lifestyle must have been all his fault… Who needs this charade? just make women immune from prosecution and at least it will save money on needless farcical show trials, since we all know the outcomes already anyways. Use the money saved on building more men’s and boys’ prisons.

    • On a practical front it does consistently give the message to the Police that any work trying to bring a female to justice is wasted effort. One could hardly blame them for concentrating on the men where they may get a “result”. The truth is the feminists simply ride an existing wave of chivalry and snobbery.

    “I have seen a great deal of pictures of you in underwear and will now let you off”
