Katie Price avoids prison

[debreezefebreeze]

Katie Price will not be jailed for breaching a restraining order and instead will have to perform 170 hours of unpaid work.

Is that the Sarah Millicane professional Geordie

Wasn't Winehouse a junkie ?

She's made an absolute mockery of the justice system.

Years and years and years of driving offences that never resulted in jail time. Now this one and another court appearance in a couple of weeks time, followed by one in 2023 I believe.

Her defence team today said that her therapy was really helping her control the previous outbursts she used to have.

This was shortly after she (obviously unbeknownst to them) told reporters to "suck my dick" on the way into court. On camera. She doesn't give a fuck.

Breaching a restraining order is a cps matter and punishable by imprisonment, regardless of the content or topic of communication. I'm surprised you don't know that, being someone who is involved with law'!

I don't think she'll ever sort her shit out when there are no real consequences to her behaviour.

@Rosiestraws

She's breached a restraining order which is (obviously) an offence itself, and in doing so she is also in breach of a suspended sentence she is currently under for a separate offence.

A custodial sentence was absolutely a possibility, though it didn't happen this time.

Are you sure you're 'involved in law'?

I’m glad she didn’t get prison time. That would have been totally disproportionate to the crime and to be honest I can’t see who it would have benefitted.

I can’t comment on her other offences because I don’t know the details of those. The sentence for this offence seems reasonable and proportionate to me. Unless people think we should be paying 30K + per year to shove people with minor crimes into a system from which they usually come out worse than they went in??

Such a good mother she is fucking off on another holiday tomorrow! She has her children for 2 hours a week on a supervised visit! She is a terrible mum who has put a bloke before her kids.

She should have been locked up when she got her suspended sentence. Now she has committed another crime and yet again she gets away with it. Rumours on twitter abound that she is a grass for the police on drugs so that may be why she keeps getting away with it.

She is a disgusting specimen on a human and does not deserve to be called mum by her children when she does nothing but bring them shame and heartbreak.

She apparently shouted " S uck my dick " at the journalists outside the court.
So perhaps that is what she did to the judge

Oh and she is up in court again in a couple of weeks time for another driving offence. This one refusing to admit who was driving her speeding car while she was disqualified last year.

I wonder how high up she is in the betting of "Which alleged celeb is going to die next" ?

Unless people think we should be paying 30K + per year to shove people with minor crimes into a system from which they usually come out worse than they went in??

Habitual offenders, yes.

She received a suspended sentence for a previous offence too, didn’t she?

I’d naively assumed that a new offence would see that suspended one start.

Do you know how many mums are in jail for not paying their TV licence? 80% of female prisoners are in for non violent offences. If we can jail these people sure as hell we can jail an habitual criminal who breaks the law over and over again and then fucks off on another holiday rubbing everyone's face in it.

She has just been damn lucky she has not injured or killed an innocent person while she is out driving drunk and on drugs.

@Whowhatwherewhenwhynow

I know you said you weren't aware of her other offences so thought I'd share them as maybe some people don't realise how prolific an offender she is.

She will injure or kill herself, her kids or someone else at some point if she continues to reoffend on the driving front.

And she has proven no signs of fines, points, disqualifications etc changing this - see these pics with a rundown.

These don't even include the most recent one:

The former glamour model, 43, even confessed to cops at scene of the car crash she had taken drugs and shouldn't be driving. Fans were horrified after seeing pics of the one-car collision back September near her home in Sussex - with Katie herself admitting she could have killed herself or someone else.* Katie pleaded guilty after being charged with driving while unfit to drive through drink, using a motor vehicle on a public place without third party insurance and driving while disqualified.*

She is out of control. A custodial sentence for a driving offence previously could at some point have been the shock to the system / rock bottom she needed to actually make some changes.

She's a liability. People who drink drive / drug drive are dangerous.

She's been treated as if she's above the law despite an incredible rate of offending. A judge said it was the worst driving record he had ever seen.

And her team used the 'her kids need her' line when she has openly said before today's sentencing that she's going on holiday for the sixth or seventh time this year in the next couple of days (despite being 'bankrupt' and owing so many people so much money?!).

Plus Harvey is in residential care, which she has shamelessly taken him from on a couple of occasions to appear at paid for club nights where people pay entry and extra to have a photo with him.

She's said previously how overwhelmed he is by crowds, noise and bright lights. Funnily enough that's not that important to her when she's making money selling tickets to meet him in student nightclubs.

I met her years ago a few times through work when she was with Peter Andre and she was genuinely really nice and professional. Something has clearly gone very wrong and the drinking and drugs have exacerbated whatever underlying issues there are.

She is a menace on the roads and as someone who nearly lost their life to a drink driver, I'm disgusted she's had no custodial sentence yet.

They aren't just about punishing someone, they're also about incentivising them to stop offending. She's had no such incentive. She hasn't stopped offending.

You are of course entitled to your opinion.

even with a custodial sentence it would likely only be a short sentence and she’d come out probably in a worse state than she went in and just continue to commit offences.

I think she probably needs some intensive therapeutic intervention. She has always struck me as someone with some pretty deep issues.

@wellhelloitsme I do agree that custodial sentences should be more common for people with repeated driving offences. Sadly often those who kill have multiple previous driving offences.

However the same issue does still exist in that, even with a custodial sent ace for driving offences (even those resulting in a death) people are often only in prison for a couple of years at most. Then they’re in the community again. I just wish there was more emphasis on sorting the crux of the issues that cause peoples offending.

I think she probably needs some intensive therapeutic intervention. She has always struck me as someone with some pretty deep issues.

She's had a number of stints at the prior (including two recent ones with no access to outside etc so very intense) mandated therapy, bans, fines... nothing has stopped her offending.

I appreciate you might not have realised the extent of her offending and the fact it spans more than a decade, as I only just posted it.

But now you can see that and how nothing else has worked, a custodial sentence could be a suitable way of stopping her repeat offending as it may be the rock bottom she needs?

Because as long as she's reoffending, someone at some point is likely to get injured or worse by her being on the roads. So it seems incredibly unfair to put the general public at risk for years on end just because a custodial sentence should be a last resort. She's at the last resort stage now when it comes to her level of offending. Or should be at least.

I feel dreadfully sorry for Michelle. She's raising KP's kids as KP isn't fit to do so, and gets torrents of abuse for which she has to take a restraining order out.
That RO gets broken, and KP gets yet another slap on the wrist and community service that she won't do because she's always on holiday.

What message was sent today for those living in fear with restraining orders out against people? They are supposed to offer protection.

Cross posted with you there.

While yes it would likely be a short sentence, it would have an actual impact on her career (she keeps getting TV deals and magazine deals despite her reoffending year on year) and would therefore be an actual deterrent to her as she would hopefully not want to further damage her career by reoffending.

Custodial sentences aren't just about punishment and judgement, they're about forcing people to be accountable and have natural consequences to encourage them not to reoffend.

If you look through the driving offence history I shared, surely you agree that a natural consequence of that level of offending at that frequency over that amount of time, is a custodial sentence of some sort?

She's incredibly lucky she didn't kill herself or someone else that night.

I also can't get my head around how she's bankrupt, not keeping up with her agreed repayments but is going on holiday number six or seven of 2022 in the next few days.

I agree that a custodial sentence would have been fair for the driving issues. It does seem she has been given way too many chances in relation to them.

However I can see why it wasn’t given for breaking the restraining order as although she broke it, the manner in which it happened seemed fairly minor.

by the looks of it I shouldn’t imagine it’ll be long until she is in court again for driving offences.

You're right she is back in court in a couple of weeks for yet another bloody driving offence. It is a joke that she is allowed to get away with what she has.

As someone who has had to have a restraining order against someone, it's really sickening to hear people say 'oh well, it was only a mild comment' and suggest they haven't really done any harm.

Getting a restraining/non molestation order means that person ALREADY represents a risk which is why the terms state no contact.

Not 'a little bit of contact is ok' , or 'as long as you're not rude, contact is ok' because at that stage, it's been deems that they aren't capable of behaving appropriately.

So no, it doesn't bloody matter that her comments were mild. And if you'd ever had to take one of these things out, you'd understand why!

I presume you are actually joking about the TV licences comment. My guess is it is ZERO... it was in June 2020.
Did you really think there were dozens of poor defenceless women banged up for watching tv 🤦🏻‍♀️
Women who end up in jail are less
Likely to have commuted violent crime but they will have have committed
Something very serious. It's daft to think otherwise.
The guidelines for sentencing are clear over what does and doesn't merit jail time.

Over 2 hours and this thread's still here. Katie must be taking a nap or something.

Harvey is in residential care, which she has shamelessly taken him from on a couple of occasions to appear at paid for club nights where people pay entry and extra to have a photo with him.

Is Harvey able to give informed consent to this? (If true) it sounds uncomfortably close to exploitation.

Custodial sentences aren't just about punishment and judgement, they're about forcing people to be accountable and have natural consequences to encourage them not to reoffend.

It's not all about the offender. Let's not forget protecting the public. If a drunk/drugged up driver is in jail, he or she isn't putting lives at risk.
