BREAKING: Sabine McNeill sentenced to 9 years

/ 09/01/2019

Sabine McNeill has been sentenced to nine years in prison following a four-week trial at Southwark Crown Court.

Using words like “arrogant”, “manipulative”, and “evil” to describe Sabine’s crimes, HHJ Sally Cahill QC stated in her sentencing remarks that the actual sentence is for 12 years, but she had chosen to reduce this to nine in consideration of Sabine’s age.

On 14 December 2018, the jury found Sabine guilty on four charges of stalking parents whose children were named by Ella Draper as belonging to a “Satanic death cult” based in several schools and a church in Hampstead, North London.

In addition, Sabine was found guilty of six charges of breaching a restraining order. The order was put in place by HHJ Daniel Worsley following the collapse of Sabine McNeill and Neelu Berry’s 2016 trial for witness intimidation. 

Today’s sentence breaks down to eight years for the stalking charges, and one for the restraining order violations.

Extended hearing

Today’s sentencing hearing was a continuation of a hearing which began on 19 December, during which the court heard victim impact statements from people who had been affected by Sabine’s online activities.

Much of today’s hearing took place in chambers, as HHJ Sally Cahill QC went over the terms of a Criminal Behaviour Order with the prosecution and defence legal teams, with an eye to making it as airtight as possible.

The public were admitted to the second half of the hearing, during which they heard mitigation arguments from Sabine’s barrister Tana Adkin QC. Adkin emphasised Sabine’s previous “good character”, referencing the fact that this is her first conviction as an element which ought to be taken into consideration when determining her sentence.

We will provide additional details of today’s hearing once they become available.

        • ‘Harassment’ wasn’t a crime at all until Phony Blair Came to power. Brought in (supposedly), to save women from being murdered by ‘stalkers’ (often ex-husbands or lovers), it was never used for that purpose, but as a weapon for police thugs to use against law-abiding people (the murders continued as before).
          The remedy for defamation was a civil action. Now to the 21st century:
          Sabine McNeill, 73, was accused of putting something on the internet, & has been sentenced to NINE YEARS in prison.
          Mass murderer & war criminal Phoney Bliar is free to jet between luxury mansions at home & millionaire playgrounds abroad.
          Proportionality?

          • Actually Sabine was convicted for both stalking and harassment.

            Plus how is a civil action for defamation “the remedy” for a typical working class person, when it costs tens – even hundreds – of thousands of pounds and can take two to three years to see through?

            Also, did you see (and take into account) the impact statements outlining what Sabine’s victims were put through? And with all due respect, you appear to have also overlooked the fact that Sabine ignored numerous warnings and “second chances”, as well as the fact that she breached both a restraining order and her bail conditions.

            And as for “accused of putting something on the internet”, Sabine was found guilty of numerous charges, as outlined above.

            By the way, why do you object to harassment being made a crime – and why have you placed it in inverted commas? Are you saying that harassing innocent families should be acceptable and legal?

          • To slightly correct Tinribs, Sabine was found guilty of stalking and breaching restraining orders not harassment. Stalking wasn’t made an offence until the Protection of Freedoms Act (2012). The penalties were increased to 10 years under the Police and Crime Act (2017). And you are wrong about how the remedy for libel used to be a civil offence. Up until 2009 criminal libel, prosecuted by the state not individuals, was still on the statute books. When did Tony Blair stop being prime Minister? Oh, that was 2007. Never let inconvenient things called fact get in the way, eh?

            There’s something wrong with you.

    • Double wow. Really didn’t expect this. Sabine’s defiance in the dock with ‘ I will always believe the children’ is something she’ll regret for the rest of her life. It sounds like she is not liked in prison as she stays in her cell all the time. I bet it is her CARER who brings her food, ie for the extra money. Being without any mates in prison will make her sentence feel much longer and tougher. They will probably have to ship her to somewhere ‘special’ to accommodate her. Still, it is good to see her ‘extreme measures’ receiving appropriate response by the judge. Who does Sabine really think she is? Did she really think she could act with impunity? Her realisation she could well die in prison now rather than be out in no time at all won’t be something she’ll be able to come to terms with. I think she will serve 50%? with good behaviour, making minimum 4.5 yrs to be served?
      How long will it take for any appeal to be heard, I wonder?

      • She must first apply for permission to appeal. She has only 2 days left to appeal her conviction. She has until the 6th Feb to appeal her sentence. (However, an extension to appeal may be allowed, and I suspect it probably would).

        A judge then has to give permission. You can appeal a refused appeal.

        If your appeal fails, you may have to restart your sentence!

        • I think an appeal on sentence may be a goer – not guaranteed, but it is a long sentence and so her counsel may advise her it’s worth a punt. Loss of time orders are only made if the appeal was utterly without merit, and I’m not sure that it would be, even if it failed. Further down I’ve set out the likely time she would really serve – about 3 years then released on home detention curfew and then licence. The trick then will be remaining compliant with her licence conditions and the CrimBO for the next five years.

      • At the most lenient it was going to be 2½ year per the sentencing guidelines. With time on remand she could have been out in a couple of months (half sentence + probation). If she hadn’t breached her bail conditions in theory even 2½ years could have seen her out on a tag, but breaching bail conditions automatically makes you ineligible. Such a stupid woman.

        I’ve not heard the summing up but I truly believe from an interjection made by the Judge at the first sentencing hearing that it was Sabine testifying “I will continue to believe the children” which led the judge to believe that she was an ongoing danger to society and would never let up.

  15. I wasn’t expecting that.

    I don’t think her attitude that she was sorry but actually she wasn’t even vaguely sorry at all and still ‘believed the children’ helped. It must have added a few years as most likely did the blatantly selective amnesia she displayed on the stand.

    I’d give her defence team 8 out of 10 for effort as they may have failed to get her off but they had nothing to work with. They had a fool for a client and she’s exactly the sort of fool that won’t even try to save her own neck.

    I can see Neelu having a major wobbly about this… If the judge doesn’t get ‘removed from office’ and commercial liened for jail fraud and whistle-blower fraud and something something oath to god I’ll be very surprised. If she had any sense she’d be shitting herself but sense and Neelu aren’t currently on speaking terms.

Justice has well and truly been seen to have been served, and I thank the Judge for fully recognising and understanding the unimaginable distress all those totally innocent Men Women and Children suffered, and sadly most likely will still continue to suffer, in one form or another, even after Sabine McNeill has eventually been released from Jail.

    • Lord, I’m surprised, I was expecting 5ish. That said, it’s not often that judges have as close a view of the real impact of an offence as Judge Cahill had thanks to the victims giving evidence (one of the downsides of pleading not guilty) and the antics of her supporters.
      Yes, she’ll do half in prison and be on licence for the rest, though the half in prison will be reduced by her time on remand and she could be released up to 135 days early under home detention curfew (and I suspect would be). If she breached the conditions of her licence she could be recalled up to the expiry of the full 9 years (taking into account remand).
      This is all with the caveat that the provisions on early release are so complicated, and change so often, that I’m never sure of them at any one time. But I’ve checked the CJA 2003 and I think I’m right.

          • As I think we’ve all agreed – It’s Complicated!

            If we assume standard conditions, a prisoner will serve half their sentence, then will be released on licence. Any time served on remand will automatically be deducted by the Prison Service from the sentence. In addition any bail time served with an electronic tag will be deducted from the sentence at the time of conviction at a conversion rate of 50% (I think Sabine was on a tag for 2 months before breaching her bail conditions so that will be a month off). An inmate may also apply for home curfew before their 50% tariff date, but this will almost certainly be denied if the person has breached bail conditions in the first place.

            If the wind changes direction on the third Thursday in the month of April then all bets are off!

I’m not sure she’s eligible as she breached it and it doesn’t sound as if she got it, as it wouldn’t be a round 9 years in that case, but the only certainty would be to see the order and sentencing remarks in detail. It’s possible that the remarks will be posted on the Judiciary website, they are for high profile cases.

        It’s theoretically possible for the victims to pay the fee and sue her in the County Court, and while they might get an order, there are equally dismal prospects of actually recovering anything.
        Finally there is the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority where the govt pays the £££. There are strict criteria for the scheme, e.g. the application must be made as soon as possible and in any event within 2 years (with some exceptions).

And the word “torture”, used to describe what I saw inflicted upon the children, was that of Pauffley J, not the word I’d necessarily have thought of using myself to describe the use of pressure to extract false confessions and allegations from the children.

            I have decided to publish here and now the text of the email I sent to Sabine McNeill on 7th January 2015.

            66

            I stayed up all night a few days ago, watching all the police videos, and most of the other videos from start to finish. I took this task very seriously.

            If Ella is your client, you have to try to see things from her warped point of view. I cannot bring myself to do that and am glad that I am not under any obligation to try.

            What I see on the videos, is two damaged children, damaged by an alienating parent who has tried for years to indoctrinate the children to reject their own father for trivial reasons, such as allowing them to eat non-vegan food occasionally when they were with him. A few months before the absurd allegations of a massive paedophile and human sacrifice ring, of whom several dozen allegedly crowded into one disabled toilet at a public swimming baths on a single occasion, a manipulative step father called Abraham appeared on the scene. If have watched him coaxing, coaching, leading the children, on video. It is perfectly clear to me that he is the author of the far-fetched conspiracy theory of “plastic willies” and decapitations of babies that the children were trained and coached to repeat. It is a matter of record that the children eventually admitted that it was Abraham who used to hit them on the face with a spoon, as a punishment for fluffing their lines when they rehearsed their performances of regurgitating his conspiracy theory that he planned, eventually, to take them to the police, for them to perform before that audience.

            The children come across as displaying classic behaviour of children who have a parent on a mission of her own to recruit the children as soldiers in a war of her own desiring, to hurt her ex as much as possible, without a care for the effect upon the children of her using them for her own ends like this. Children almost always succumb to this sort of abuse, and behave exactly how the controlling parent, who wants to use the children to hurt their other parent, demands that they behave.

            I wouldn’t have your client as mine for all the tea in China. The children ideally need to live exclusively with their father for a few months, having no direct contact with their mother. They need some therapy from an expert in parental alienation, such as Karen Woodall of The Family Separation Clinic. They may make a very rapid recovery. Then, their mother can safely be re-introduced into their lives, provided she has, by then, broken off her relationship with the abuser worse than she is, Abraham, a.k.a. Papa Hemp, or otherwise ensures that this man never again has access to her children.

            I wish the police round here were as child-friendly as the officer who aided those poor children to feel safe admitting the truth at last, after they had wisely been removed from the mother and step father who were training them to lie.

            I think that there is a very real possibility that the mother did not understand her own alienating behaviour. A lot of her type suffer from Narcissistic Personality Disorder. They do not realise that they are child abusers. I find it hard to believe that Abraham didn’t know what he was doing. When the children tried to admit to him that they had told the lies that he had suggested in the first place, he stopped filming, punished their truthfulness with a spoon applied to the face, and then started filming again, until the poor battered children at last got their story exactly like he wanted it to be.

            Sorry to put this so strongly. However, this client of yours is not going to help your reputation. Her winning in court (of which there is not the slightest chance) would ensure that the efforts [succeeded] to persuade the children to give false testimony against their father, every other child in their school, the entire teaching staff of their school, the parents of practically every other child they know, the parish priest and the school nurse, are murderers of babies, pagans, cannibals and sexual abusers of children, who use a vast stock of plastic willies, in secret basements accessed via wardrobes.

            I’m still unclear as to what that “other material” was, btw. Whatever it is, you appear to be the only person who’s seen it, so colour me intrigued.

            • I regret any misunderstanding caused in the summer of 2015 by my use then of the word “torture”, copying Mrs Justice Pauffley’s example, in order to refer to the measures I had seen (on video) applied in order to pressure the children into making false confessions and allegations, which they later recanted, crazy confessions and allegations that were so far-fetched that I don’t understand to this day why so many people were (and remain) willing to believe them.

              It is important to investigate serious allegations made by children, even far-fetched allegations of witchcraft that are at least possible at first glance. But when I investigated these allegations myself, by watching videos that ought never to have been made, or (in the case of police videos) to which I was granted access unlawfully by all accounts, videos of the police’s work investigating the allegations, I could not see how anybody rational who did the same as I had done could fail to come to the same conclusion as the police and the court.

              Subsequently, Brian Gerrish attended as a spectator a hearing at which I represented OPOB News Ltd. (I am not a solicitor or a barrister. I became able to represent this company only by being appointed as a director of it, specifically to give me that right of audience for the company.) Brian said to me sternly after the hearing that he and I needed to have a talk about Sabine’s so-called “Whistleblower KIds”. I was taking the line that I wouldn’t touch that case with a ten-foot barge pole if I was paid to and it would end in tears for Sabine. Brian was reporting it as though the Hampstead witch hunt was justified because the alleged witchcraft in Hampstead was happening as alleged and the police were covering it up. I never did have that talk with Brian. I doubt he’d consider us to be on speaking terms nowadays, frankly.

          What exactly is a “Feminnazi-sceptic?”

          Also I have to say that The Family Separation Clinic sounds like a good idea in practice. I am somewhat concerned the fact that one of the founders / directors of the organisation was sanctioned by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

          • “Feminnazisceptic” sounds like a throwaway neologism which I, or any number of other people, might have made up, tongue-in-cheek, for single use, to convey the sense of somebody aware of some of the horrid, illiberal things feminists believe and teach, all of which doctrines they themselves took with a pinch of salt, rather than believing them religiously like the feminists do, not even recognising them to be horrid illiberal teachings.in the first place. Where did you read the term?

              Re Karen’s “rap on the knuckles” I think this things have to be taken seriously simply because so many people who richly deserve them never get them. On the rare occasions when someone does I believe we should pay attention.

                I am well aware that feminists often equate non-feminism with misogyny, just as non-feminists often equate feminism with misandry. However, I do own the domain http://patriarchy.org.uk – q.v., esp. the post entitled “Masculism, Feminism and the Euro Tunnel”, in which you may find humour, or perhaps evidence of my misgyny, depending on how you define “mysogyny”.

          • There are well founded and heartfelt complaints about family law and social services. I understand that. Unfortunately wounded people, in my opinion, like to fall back on an overarching theory to explain their woes. The family courts are biased against men! The family courts are biased against women! Social services steal children to make money! Social services steal children because they haven’t got enough money to help families!

            I think Sabine was able to latch onto this concern and mix it with conspiracist stuff and had a complete blind spot when it came to actually speaking for children, it is no secret to me that the milieu she hung around in is pro corporal punishment. I’m not talking about thinking parents who smack their toddler once shouldn’t have their children removed permantly stuff, I’m talking lashing kids on their bare skin with sticks is OK stuff.

            Perhaps it also it boils down to people liking having a daily hate and being insulated from the results of their actions by doing it on the internet.

            The Hampstead case wasn’t the first shit-show spreading unfounded disproven allegations about that she’d been involved in.

            I know you tried to talk sense into her, and failed. She respected your opinion enough to ask for it. I had always wondered if their were clips held back that were more revealing. You may have tipped her off inadvertently there. I am glad that the Ella Draper and Abraham Christie are still wanted for questioning.

            There’s no doubting the harm she caused, and seemed to revel in. I think she’s an incredibly arrogant woman.

            I have a lot of time for people who will listen to the other side of the argument and occasionally even change their opinion. Sabine can’t because Sabine is right and Sabine believes the children and nothing will sway her.

            Sabine had Ella’s eldest at her house. If she really believed the children, she let the young lad go back to his child killer father …

            Oh, I think there are a lot of conspiracists, evangelical Christians, unwell people, extremists, who desperately want massive baby killing cults to be true.

    I think it is sad that anyone of her age should end up in prison, but it needed to be done, both to set a precedent and to stop Sabine spreading her poison.

  52. Nov 1, 2013 – At the time of her sentencing she was told she would serve a minimum of five years for causing or allowing her son Peter’s death. Tracey Connelly, the mother who allowed her 17-month-old son Baby P to be tortured to death by her lover, has reportedly been released from prison.

    Sabine tortured no-one,physically hurt nobody at all .She just used words.Yet she was sentenced to 12 years reduced to nine ! Seem excessive to me even if she was mistaken in her accusations.After all the police released pretty convincing interviews with children who accused their teachers and parents and if they were coached nobody has ever said Sabine told them what to say.

      This is complete and utter bilge, and had you been paying the slightest attention during the trial you would appreciate the stupidity of this observation. The trial was conducted entirely in the public realm, and was attended not only by myself, but by any number of Sabine’s friends and supporters, including Belinda McKenzie. Witnesses and arguments were heard before a jury, who ultimately decided on the merits of the evidence put before them.

      The fact that you can bare-facedly claim that the trial was somehow conducted in secret, despite the fact that it was so obviously not, only serves to confirm for me that I was wise to block you from commenting on this site. You are a willful liar, and I am not interested in hosting your bizarre, self-serviing untruths.

    • “Sabine tortured no-one”

      Utter bullshit.

      Did you bother to read the heartbreaking testimonies of the parents falsely accused of being paedophile, baby murdering, cannibal satanists?

      How would you like it to live in fear of your own and your children’s safety? To be stressed beyond belief, sleep deprived and woken up in the early hours by strangers who either threaten to kill you or ask if they can have sex with your children?

      I have been watching a TV series called “SAS – Who Dares Wins” in which 30 or so extremely tough members of the public compete to survive an SAS training and selection course. The candidates are screamed at and have abuse shouted at them by the trainers. They are threatened with kidnapping and subjected to sleep deprivation and extreme stress. One of the central aspects of the programme is that just when the candidates believe that one task is over they are assaulted by another barrage of intense threats and challenges when they least expect it. The whole aim is to disorientate them and to put them under the kind of stress that almost everyone would break. At the end of the gruelling course it may be that only one or two or even none of the candidates have the inner resilience to endure the course until the end. The trainers were quite up front about the fact that, while the physical training is extremely hard it is the mental resilience of the candidates that they value and that candidates tend to crack mentally rather than physically.

      The barrage of emotional threats, intimidation and accusations depicted in the TV series is not at all dissimilar to that endured by innocent Hampstead parents, teachers and others from the hoaxers.
      The parents were not super tough hard men and women, not people with a military training. They were not taking part in a TV series where they could choose to opt out at any time. They were completely innocent people who were subjected to a vicious and relentless harassment for years by a group of deranged bullies.

      The parents who gave evidence in court must have some incredibly strong and resilient elements to their characters to have survived all the stress, threats and abuse they endured without going insane. I have immense respect for them for having the incredible courage to stand up to the hoaxers by giving evidence in court.

      Again, you claim that Sabine didn’t torture anyone, like fuck she didn’t. She orchestrated a campaign of harassment against innocent people that can only reasonably be described as torture. As the SAS TV series demonstrated, prolonged extreme stress, sleep deprivation and being on the receiving end of interrogations, shouting abuse and violating and shaming experiences is one of the most powerful kinds of torture and one of the most effective for breaking the will of most human beings. The Hampstead parents who gave evidence in Sabine’s trial deserve a medal and Sabine has been sentenced to exactly the kind of jail time she deserves.
