The 23-year-old today pleaded guilty to an offence under the Malicious Communications act and could now face six months in prison or a £5,000 fine. Swansea Magistrates’ Court heard how police also found jokes about the disabled on her mobile phone.
Prosecutor Linda Baker said, “Her mobile phone was seized, and found to contain numerous photos holding slogans mocking people with Down’s syndrome.”
