Default Former Labour Claudia Webbe: MP guilty of threats to a womem : By Election

[An MP who made threatening phone calls
to a woman because she was jealous
of her relationship with her partner
has been found guilty of harassing her.

Claudia Webbe, 56, a former Labour MP
for Leicester East, who is now independent,
was found guilty of one charge of harassment.

Westminster Magistrates' Court heard she
made several calls over two years and
threatened the woman with acid.
After the verdict, Webbe said she was
"deeply shocked" and would appeal.

The prosecution said Webbe,
of Islington, north London,
made 16 calls to 59-year-old Michelle Merritt,
a friend of her partner Lester Thomas,
between September 2018 and April last year.

The court heard on one occasion
she made an "angry" call,
used a derogatory term
and added: "You should be acid."

In another she threatened to
send naked photos and videos
of Ms Merritt to her family and
made silent calls from a withheld number,
the hearing was told.]
