http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/gatwick-pcso-gets-six-years-jail-for-stealing-cash-from-passengers-9755657.html
A corrupt former police community support officer who conned air passengers into handing over cash is to have her baby girl taken from her after being jailed for six and a half years.
Alexis Scott pocketed thousands of pounds when she told travellers leaving Gatwick that they were carrying too much money and had to hand it over.
The scam was uncovered when returning passengers began asking airport officials for their money back. Scott, 39, who has two young children, has been in a mother and baby custody unit since being found guilty in July.
She sobbed and members of her family left Canterbury crown court wailing in distress as Judge James O’Mahony handed down a sentence of six and a half years for misconduct in a public office, and two and a half years each for six counts of theft, to run concurrently.
He said the size of the jail term meant the mother and daughter would be split up, adding: “I have human feelings, I am a father. If it [the sentence] is more than three years the child is going to be taken from the mother. The judicial duty doesn’t come harder.”
... well, quite.

I think they took into account that she had been in trouble before. Obviously she struggled to keep her nose clean.

She probably thought that being a mother would mean a community sentence. The judge did the right thing...there's no need for the kid to go to prison.

far too harsh,certainly shouldn't have baby taken away - sentence her years later if need be .
she didn't kill or threaten anyone - we get robbed worse than that by solicitors etc ,but they don't get sent down . |
