Summary
A woman from Melton Mowbray is facing serious legal consequences after being accused of harassing a local councillor through Facebook Messenger, with a full trial set for December 4th at Loughborough Magistrates’ Court. The 47-year-old, Roma Frisby, has pleaded not guilty to the harassment charge, which alleges a pattern of threatening messages. Councillor Leigh Higgins, who’s served his ward since 2015, is the alleged victim. Frisby remains on bail under strict conditions — no contact with the councillor and no engagement with council-related social media — or risk immediate arrest. This case underscores how online conduct toward public officials can carry real legal weight. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
