Primark breastfeeding woman lied

[Osem]

A mother has admitted falsely claiming a Primark security guard took her baby from her while she was breastfeeding and ordered her out of the store.

Caroline Starmer, 28, appeared at Leicester Crown Court, where she pleaded guilty to a charge of intent to pervert the course of justice.

Starmer, of Marshall Street, Leicester, had claimed her nine-month-old daughter was grabbed from her breast.

She was warned she could be jailed when sentenced in December.

The story was widely reported in the media and in interviews she claimed a male security guard grabbed the child from her breast.

I have to admit it sounded a little implausible to me at the time.

Second time she had told porkies along these lines. The lady is sadly not quite right.

A mother who falsely claimed a Primark security guard snatched her baby from her while she was breastfeeding has been given a suspended jail sentence.

Caroline Starmer's lies made national headlines, but she was charged by police after Primark checked the CCTV from the Leicester store.

The 28-year-old admitted intending to pervert the course of justice at a previous court hearing.

It's about time a clear message was sent out to those who're inclined to make serious allegations, especially given that the repercussions for the falsely accused can be so serious and in many cases irreversible.
