thedailymirror--2020-09-22--Woman faked kidnapping and said she would be killed if friend didn't send ransom

A woman who faked her own kidnapping and said she would be raped and killed if a friend did n't send her £500 has been jailed for 16 months .
Lucy Holland , 22 , spent two years befriending the University of Portsmouth student , scamming him out of £2,720 by asking for money to pay for transport and items for a friend 's baby .
The court heard Holland was actually using the money to binge on drugs and alcohol .
Then on September 28 last year , Portsmouth Crown Court heard she sent the `` trusting and gullible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You have an hour to [ send ] £500 or she dies and I film it . ''
Holland also used makeup to create fake bruising on her face and sent photos of this to her victim , who was concerned for her safety and contacted police .
Prosecutor Jenny Burgess said : `` Holland has been friends with the victim for two years , and started asking him for money about six months into their friendship .
`` On the night in question , he received one text asking for £200 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Michael .
I have kidnapped your GF ( girlfriend ) .
I have her phone and need £300 to let her go our I will kill her ' and after further threats he sent the money over . ''
Other messages said Holland , from Landport , Hampshire , would be raped if he did not pay , or that a video of her death would be posted online .
Ms Burgess added : `` She claims the two friends she was with sent the messages , but that is not accepted .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ made she laughed and commented she 'did n't think she could get done ' for that '' Apparently she felt bad every time she asked him for money , but he was an easy target because he was so trusting and gullible . ''
A shaking and sobbing Holland admitted fraud and blackmail during the hearing on September 18 .
Daniel Reilly , defending , said : `` She 's faced difficulties with anxiety from an early age .
`` She had issues with bullying and that left her vulnerable , and she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with challenges - she very much lost faith with the system .
`` Between the ages of 15 and 18 she was also in a difficult , controlling relationship .
After that , the drinking and the drugs became her main problem .
`` On this occasion she made a bad decision that spiralled out of control . ''
The court heard Holland 's parents were currently paying back the cash .
Judge David Melville QC said : `` You dressed yourself up as somebody being hurt and portrayed it in pictures to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that you were being seriously harmed and extorted - without any justification and I find it to be a shocking offence .
`` You abused a friendship and once you had tapped him a couple of times , he was your target . ''
Holland was sentenced to 16 months for the blackmail and eight months for the fraud to run concurrently .

Lucy Holland, 22, from Landport, Hampshire, posed as her own kidnapper and claimed she would be raped and killed if the pal didn't pay the £500 ransom, which she wanted for alcohol and drugs
Woman faked kidnapping saying she'd be raped and killed if friend didn't send ransom
A woman who faked her own kidnapping and said she would be raped and killed if a friend didn't send her £500 has been jailed for 16 months.
Lucy Holland, 22, spent two years befriending the University of Portsmouth student, scamming him out of £2,720 by asking for money to pay for transport and items for a friend's baby.
The court heard Holland was actually using the money to binge on drugs and alcohol.
Then on September 28 last year, Portsmouth Crown Court heard she sent the "trusting and gullible" pal menacing messages saying: "You have an hour to [send] £500 or she dies and I film it."
Holland also used makeup to create fake bruising on her face and sent photos of this to her victim, who was concerned for her safety and contacted police.

Prosecutor Jenny Burgess said: "Holland has been friends with the victim for two years, and started asking him for money about six months into their friendship.
"On the night in question, he received one text asking for £200, followed by a text saying 'This is Michael. I have kidnapped your GF (girlfriend). I have her phone and need £300 to let her go our I will kill her' and after further threats he sent the money over."
Other messages said Holland, from Landport, Hampshire, would be raped if he did not pay, or that a video of her death would be posted online.
Ms Burgess added: "She claims the two friends she was with sent the messages, but that is not accepted.
"When the allegation of blackmail was made she laughed and commented she 'didn't think she could get done' for that
"Apparently she felt bad every time she asked him for money, but he was an easy target because he was so trusting and gullible."
A shaking and sobbing Holland admitted fraud and blackmail during the hearing on September 18.
Daniel Reilly, defending, said: "She's faced difficulties with anxiety from an early age.
"She had issues with bullying and that left her vulnerable, and she found herself being drawn to other children with challenges - she very much lost faith with the system.
"Between the ages of 15 and 18 she was also in a difficult, controlling relationship. After that, the drinking and the drugs became her main problem.
"On this occasion she made a bad decision that spiralled out of control."

Saliba, who as a target for Arsenal's bitter rivals Tottenham, was immediately loaned back to the Ligue 1 side for the duration of the 2019-20 campaign in order to further his progression.
Many expected the highly-touted centre-half - who has represented France from Under-16 to Under-20 level - to be immediately thrust into the limelight.

Gunners newboy Gabriel Magalhaes has been at the heart of the north Londoners' defence for both of their league wins over Fulham and West Ham.

“We have to bear in mind that he had a really challenging season last year with the amount of injuries that he had.

Arteta reckons both Saliba and Magalhaes will learn a great deal this season from veteran defender David Luiz.
He said: “I think he is a really good role model for them, for who David is as a person and as a player.
“With everything he has achieved in the game – I think they are lucky to have him around.”
Arsenal will be back in action this evening, travelling to the King Power Stadium to take on Leicester City in the third round of the Carabao Cup.

Bosnian international told to leave
