Hide AdHer case was adjourned for the preparation of a pre-sentence report, but the mum-of-three was warned by a judge she faces going to jail “notwithstanding the fact you have children”.
Mr recorder Singh warned the mum-of-three: “Normally someone in your position would go immediately to custody.
“You should therefore come back expecting a custodial sentence.”
Brian Hegarty, defending, said Wilson has been out of trouble for more than 10 years and has had children since then.
