Fantastic Acquittal Result in Pregnancy Fraud Case

A client of Lewis Nedas & Co has been acquitted of fraud after a five week trial at Southwark Crown Court. The jury, though, were unable to reach a verdict on a second charge of blackmail and there is to be a retrial in January 2012. The complainant, who brought this private prosecution and can only be referred to Mr A, alleged that the defendant fabricated a pregnancy in order to defraud him of £3 million. He claimed he had never had intimate relations with her and even if she had been pregnant, which he believed was not the case, it could not have been his child. In her defence the client said she had been Mr A’s lover for over two and a half years and called evidence that she had been pregnant at the time but had unfortunately miscarried the baby.

Tony Meisels of this firm has been representing the defendant in this high profile and widely reported case – in the English speaking press there have been articles in the Evening Standard, Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail – and instructed Paul Purnell QC and Jeremy Lynn both of Farringdon Chambers.
