A Salisbury woman has been sentenced today (14th November) for posting offensive videos on social media.
Appearing before Salisbury Magistrates Court, Fiona Ryan, 40, of Laverstock Road was given a 12-week custodial sentence - suspended for 18-months.
She was also sentenced to a further 8-weeks imprisonment, which will run concurrently.
The court ordered that she must also pay a victim surcharge of £154 and court costs of £650.
She had earlier been found guilty of four charges under Section 127 of the communications act 2003 following a trial.
Representing herself, Ryan apologised for any offence caused but denied that the content of posts, which were shown in court, were anti-semitic.
Ryan had also previously pleaded guilty to two charges of posting grossly offensive posts on Twitter (X).
In his sentencing remarks, District Judge Timothy Pattinson said: “Any reasonable person would find your comments disgusting and nauseating. I find they were motivated by a desire to shock, by self-publicity and money.”
