For each offense he received six weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months. The sentences will be executed simultaneously.
The magistrates had initially said that the offenses should each carry a nine-week sentence, but this was reduced due to Lamerton's early conviction and remorse.Julian Jefferson, reliever, said that Lamerton had given up his job to care for his terminally ill wife and had begun selling products online to earn "a few more."
