Our thanks to Steve for this piece on the Nottinghamshire police website. The end of the piece:

“Appearing for sentencing at Nottingham Crown Court on 30 January 2026, Victoria Hampton – who now goes by Victoria Burke – was handed an 18-month prison sentence, suspended for two years.

Conditions of her suspended sentence include the requirement to wear a monitoring tag and reside at her address from 7pm-7am daily for one year and participate in 15 days of rehabilitation appointments.

Detective Constable Akil Kapasi, who led the investigation, said:

“The victim had trusted his partner of the time with his funds, and he was very sadly taken advantage of for several years.

“Armed with undeniable evidence, the jury, however,  were able to see through Hampton’s lies and expose her despicable actions.

“I hope that this sends a clear message to those responsible for the financial affairs of others that, if you take advantage of that for your own benefit, Nottinghamshire Police will put you before the courts.” “

DC Kapasti would have been justified to add at the end of his comments, “… where some dickhead of a judge will give you a suspended sentence, because vagina.”
