Fiona Ryan, 40, from Salisbury, has been sentenced to a 12-week custodial sentence, suspended for 18 months, after posting offensive videos on social media. Appearing at Salisbury Magistrates Court, Ryan was found guilty of multiple charges under the Communications Act 2003 for content deemed offensive and grossly inappropriate. The court also handed her an additional eight-week suspended sentence, to run concurrently.
Ryan was convicted of four charges under Section 127 of the Communications Act for content she posted on various social media platforms, including Twitter (now X) and TikTok. Despite apologizing for any distress caused, Ryan denied that her posts were anti-Semitic. In addition to the 12-week suspended sentence, she was ordered to pay a £154 victim surcharge, £650 in court costs, and complete a 20-day rehabilitation program.
District Judge Timothy Pattinson criticized Ryan’s actions, stating, “Any reasonable person would find your comments disgusting and nauseating. I find they were motivated by a desire to shock, by self-publicity, and money.”
Ryan’s conviction followed an investigation by Wiltshire Police, which identified the offending content across multiple platforms. Her posts were deemed grossly offensive by the court, highlighting the growing scrutiny of harmful or hateful content on social media.
