Olympic Youth Ambassador Admits To Violent Disorder (23 September 2011)

Date: 23/09/2011
Duncan Lewis, Legal News Solicitors, Olympic Youth Ambassador Admits To Violent Disorder

A former Olympic youth ambassador has admitted her involvement in violent disorder and damaging a police vehicle during the civil unrest in London. 18-year-old Chelsea Ives admitted to one count of burglary, one count of damaging property, and two counts of violent disorder in London in August of this year. In 2008, Miss Ives was appointed the role of Olympic youth ambassador by Waltham Forest Council. The council's leader described Miss Ives as a “very talented athlete”. Miss Ives is yet to receive a date for her sentencing and has been remanded in police custody.

In another case, Laura Johnson, 19, who was accused of the theft of more than £5,000 worth of items during the riots, has been ordered by the courts to wear an electronic tag. Miss Johnson was handed conditional bail and ordered to observe a strict curfew. Miss Johnson is yet to indicate her plea. The Exeter University student has been banned from entering any London postcode, except when visiting her lawyers or making a court appearance. She has been warned to remain at her parents' home in Orpington during her curfew hours.

Police have arrested over 2,590 people and over 1,500 people face charges following the rioting and looting across London.
