Erin O’ Connor‘s former personal assistant, Michelle Knox-Brown, has been found guilty of committing fraud, and sentenced for her unforgiving crimes against Erin earlier this week.

Michelle was found guilty of stealing £10,251 from Erin over a period of three years, and was thought to have spent the money on numerous vacations, taxi fares, and clothes by using O’Connor’s credit card and petty cash.

“I would like to say that I’m satisfied that justice has been done and this has been a powerful lesson for me,” said Erin. “I’ve moved on.”

Kingston Crown Court has ordered Michelle to complete a 40-week suspended sentence and 200 hours of unpaid community work, reports Vogue UK.
