Hairdresser who helped ex-boyfriend run drug dealing racket avoids jail because HE has a child

Amy Stevens, 27, had faced being locked up alongside Michael Moores after police found her mobile phone had been used to sell drugs including ecstasy and cannabis.

But Stevens, who has no children of her own, claimed she had 'caring responsibilities' for Moores' eight-year-old son - even though the couple split up acrimoniously after their arrest following a three month fling. She said she also sees her god-daughter on a daily basis and the two children had become close friends themselves.
