Mother of 5 jailed for stealing $280,000

A woman was on Wednesday jailed when she appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, charged for robbery.
Melinda Beaton, 31, of 45 A Field Sophia, Greater Georgetown, pleaded guilty to the charge when it was read to her.
It is alleged that on September 5, 2016 at Independence Boulevard, she stole $280,000 in cash from Curt Steele.
The woman told the court that she offered to sell the Virtual Complainant a phone for $6000, but instead he indicated that he preferred to have a sexual favour , a request with which she complied. After the intimate act occurred, the man fell asleep, and she stole the money and left.
The mother of five told the Magistrate that she needed the money to buy school supplies. She was jailed for 18 months.

I blame that man. Here was a woman in financial need forced to sell her mobile phone so she could buy supplies for her children. That man took advantage of the woman's vulnerable position and secured sex. If the woman is at fault, it is that she stole only money but neglected to take the man's pants and shirt and shoes too.

She is a woman with five kids. You telling me that she had no previous experience in sexual contacts? With five kids I would say that she is not vulnerable, but a habitual menace to men.

Mr.T

Mr.T you have to walk with the poor and needy to realize what they are going through.

Although we do not know the age of the kids , I am assuming that they are young. With five mouths to feed that lady was coerced to sell her body. I mean it is not right to steal but the penalty  of 18 months is too much.

I wonder what will happen to her children and if that will not turn to crime to feed themselves. From the slums of India to the poor all over the world, the system is rigged against them.

You talk lil sense here Chief. The woman should have been given probation, counseling and some financial help. Who would you blame if her children become criminals? It has to be the judge who sentenced her to jail. Maybe this judge should be thrown off the bench and let her prostitute herself for a living.
