Our thanks to Nigel for this. The start of the piece:

“Able Seaman Louise Dorsett, 30, who starred in a “Made in the Royal Navy” TV advert, did not tell the Navy she was renting out her home some 400 miles away to a tenant and claimed travel allowance dishonestly.

Because she was a landlord for her mortgaged home in Scotland, Dorsett was not eligible for the ‘Get You Home’ allowance that is intended to cover travel costs for service personnel.

It was found that she had also breached Navy rules by not asking for permission to rent out the property in Fife, in her home country of Scotland.

She has been ordered to pay back the full amount of £2,034 after she admitted fraud by false representation and failing to perform a duty.

She told the court in an emotional address that her childhood in foster care had been difficult.” [J4MB emphasis. Leaving aside the “emotional address”, the relevance to her childhood would be…?]
