NEWS STORY : Disgraced Former MP Jared O’Mara Sentenced to Four Years in Prison for Fraud

STORY

Jared O’Mara, the former Labour MP for Sheffield Hallam, who was found guilty earlier this week for fraud has today been sentenced to four years imprisonment. O’Mara, who attempted to steal £52,000 from the tax-payer, was convicted of six counts of fraud with Judge Tom Bayliss saying:

“You must have realised early on that you were wholly unsuited to the role, but you carried on regardless, you brazened it out; drawing a salary, but doing little or no parliamentary work”.

The Judge added before sentencing:

“You are here because you abused your position to commit fraud and you have shown not the slightest degree of remorse in respect of that”.
