Mother caring for disabled son escapes jail sentence after filing charges against police officer

Kelly Wildego, 41, received a four-month suspended sentence after admitting assaulting an emergency medical worker.

A full-time carer for her disabled son has avoided a prison sentence after attacking police officers and calling them “sluts” during a protest in Whitehall last month.

Kelly Wildego, 41, from Greenwich, wept in the dock at Inner London Crown Court on Monday as she was given a four-month suspended sentence after admitting assaulting an emergency worker.

Prosecutor Alex Agbamu said that “members and supporters of right-wing extremist organizations” took part in the protests on July 31.

Wildego shouted at the police officers, “You're all a bunch of fucking bastards” and “You should be ashamed of yourselves,” and then charged at them, shouting “damn it, take me!” after the violence had largely stopped around 8:45 p.m., the prosecutor said.

Video footage shown to the court showed her lying handcuffed on the floor.

Mr Agbamu said this was “isolated” from the previous unrest and “without explanation”.

The prosecutor told the court that Wildego admitted her behaviour and expressed remorse during a police interview.

Judge Freya Newbery gave Wildego a suspended sentence because she is a full-time carer for her 13-year-old son, who has learning difficulties.

The judge said Wildego had been “mean” towards officers who were “just doing their jobs”.

She continued, “You are not the type of person who normally behaves like this.”

Defense attorney Joseph Lord said Wildego, who was “deeply ashamed” of her actions, allowed herself to be arrested to be with her husband, who had previously been arrested by police.

Wildego was also ordered to pay £200 towards legal costs and to observe an electronically monitored curfew between 8pm and 6am for eight weeks.
