Woman spared jail for breach of court order
A Southampton woman, who breached a restraining order banning her from seeing her former boy friend, has been spared prison.
Dawn Cornford, 31, of Oxford Street, had been given a 25-week suspended sentence in January for wounding Christopher O’Reilly but a judge heard he later contacted her and they met.
David Storey, defending, said their lengthy relationship had a history of violence and she had committed the offence while at the end of her tether.
“She still has feelings for him, she still loves him but knows it is a relationship that won’t work and would be doomed to failure.”
Passing sentence at Southampton Crown Court sitting at Winchester , Judge Jane Miller QC said Cornford had complied with the rest of the order and ordered her to attend six sessions of a probation service run specific activity requirement which would tackle her drinking.

Apart from the fact this is yesterday's news in every sense of the word (and as is the wont of the Echo as it seems to look for pre-written fillers at the weekend), I am left asking myself the question "Would a man be spared jail in identical circumstances?"
