​Woman Charged After Offering ‘Sexual Favours In Return For Fried Chicken’

A woman in Northenden, Greater Manchester, racially abused a staff member at a takeaway after asking for free fried chicken in return for sexual favours, Manchester Evening News reports.

The court heard how Kelly Fielding went to Chesters Chicken just after midnight on 29 September and started demanding free food. When the worker refused, she apparently became abusive, with prosecutor Gemma Maxwell saying: "The defendant then began to offer sexual favours in return for fried chicken."

Staff then gave her four free chicken wings in the hope that it would appease her, but Fielding continued to act aggressively towards them - slapping the worker in the face as she was escorted out of the shop, before calling him a 'fucking P*** c***.'

Police were called to the takeaway, which was when they recognised her as someone they had spoken to earlier, and an officer tried to arrest her.

However, as Fielding kicked out and struggled her arrest, it took the help of a second officer to restrain her.

In a police interview, Fielding claimed she had been acting in self-defence, having just wanted to make a complaint about the staff member. However, CCTV footage soon compromised her claims, and Fielding eventually pleaded guilty to causing racially aggravated harassment, alarm or distress, assault by beating and two counts of assaulting a police officer.

Defending, Alexandra Sutton the court that Fielding has had drink and drug problems in the past, but argued these are now behind her.

She said: "It's unacceptable behaviour in anyone's view."

Fielding has 12 previous convictions, with prosecutors saying 'almost all' of these were for battery or public order offences.

Her most recent offences meant she was in breach of a suspended sentence, which had been imposed after she tried to smuggle drugs into prison.

Judge, Recorder Geoffrey Payne, said she has a 'tragic personal history', adding: "Because of the mitigation very eloquently put on your behalf I am prepared to take what some may regard as a lenient and exceptional course today."

Sutton had appealed for Fielding to be spared jail, arguing that the mum-of-four would be 'at risk' in custody.

Sentencing Fielding to an 18-month community order, Judge Payne warned that she was on her 'last chance'.
