A woman has been sentenced after breaking into a Nottinghamshire couple's home as their three-month-old baby was sleeping. Anne-Marie Thompson, 27, or Mawfa Avenue, Sheffield, previously pleaded guilty to burglary in a dwelling and assault by beating during a previous hearing at Nottingham Crown Court on May 5.
Thompson was sentenced by Judge Rafferty QC at the same court on Tuesday, August 9 to a total of 14 months imprisonment, suspended for two years. She also has a community order for two years, and it not allowed into Worksop except to visit her mother while accompanied by a family member for the same period.
Thompson had 30 previous convictions for 57 offences before this. Being sympathetic towards Thompson's mental health issues, when delivering the sentencing, Judge Rafferty said: "I hope you can seek help this time."
