Main article content
A Salisbury woman has been found guilty of four counts of offensive communications after appearing before Salisbury Magistrates Court today (04/09).
Fiona Ryan, 40, of Laverstock Road had pleaded not guilty to four charges of posting ‘grossly offensive’ TikTok videos in March and April this year.
Representing herself, Ryan apologised for any offence caused but denied that the content of posts, which were shown in court, were anti-semetic.
However, District Judge Timothy Pattinson found Fiona Ryan guilty of all four charges - saying in his summing up that the evidence presented before the court proved that ‘any reasonable person would find all of this material featured in this trial grossly offensive.’
Sentencing will be delayed to allow a pre-sentence report to be prepared.
