A 33-year-old woman has been jailed after attempting to frame her partner’s ex-partner.
Rebecca Louise Jones, of Trem Engan, Penygroes, appeared at Caernarfon Crown Court on 20 November after admitting to perverting the course of justice.
In March 2023, Jones and her partner reported that they were being harassed by his ex-partner, saying they were receiving multiple offensive and threatening messages each day.
The man’s ex-partner was arrested for these allegations, but she claimed they were malicious, and she was being framed.
However following police investigations, it was discovered that it was Jones herself that was sending the abusive messages to her partner using numerous fake accounts in the name of the man’s ex-partner.
She was jailed for one year and 10 months.
She also received an indefinite restraining order to protect the victim.
Detective Constable Emily Shone said: “Rebecca Jones’ behaviour had a devastating impact on the victim, causing her to be suspended from her job and feeling unable to leave her house alone.
“This experience will continue to have a lasting impact on her, but I hope the sentence provides the victim with some reassurance that it will not happen again.”
