Jacqueline Aston, 58, was sentenced at Edinburgh Sheriff Court for breaching a bail order. The order, granted on October 8, 2021, prohibited her from contacting a specific woman. Aston violated this by approaching the woman near her former home in North Berwick on January 31, 2023.
Sheriff John Cook sentenced Aston to a community payback order with 100 hours of unpaid work. Aston, now residing in Peebles, has two additional bail breach charges pending. However, Sheriff Cook indicated that if she complies with the current order, these charges may result in an admonition later in the year.
This sentencing follows a previous conviction for Aston and her husband, David Aston, 56, for a three-year campaign of harassment against their former neighbors on Blackadder Crescent in North Berwick.
