JACQUELINE PADMORE — The Highwaywoman

July 27, 1993: Jacqueline Padmore is given a sentence totalling 3 years 9 months at the Central Criminal Court: two and a half years for blackmail; a year for assault occasioning actual bodily harm; three years for another blackmail attempt; one year for the theft of a wallet; and nine months for stealing £400 from a kindly pensioner.

The crack addict who was described as a modern highwaywoman would flag down a motorist on a spurious pretext, then once in his car would demand money, and scream rape if he refused. She attacked one motorist on January 28, 1993 - 3 weeks after being released from prison; and another on April 21.


Jacqueline Padmore: her conviction was reported by the London Times, July 28, 1993, page 3.
