ADHD and autism 'not an excuse' for harassment by Telford woman, court told
A 20-year-old Telford woman has been given a conditional discharge as a "carrot to stay out of trouble", after pleading guilty to racially harassing one woman and harassing another.
Telford Magistrates Court was told that the women targeted by Paris Lewis had changed their lives to avoid her behaviour, which persisted over a long period in 2022 and 2023.
A judge sitting at the court on Tuesday was told that Lewis, of Church Street, in Madeley, had been in care since the age of 13.
She had been living 'inappropriately' in a residential care home for three years but social workers are trying to find supported living accommodation for her.
The first charge of harassment without violence was that between May 11, 2022 and March 13, 2023 she pursued a course of conduct which amounted to the harassment of a woman by messaging her "unwantedly and continuously".
The second charge of racially aggravated intentional harassment took place between September 1, 2022 and March 27, 2023 on another woman.
