A woman was hauled before a court in a day-long trial for calling a man a “f—— p—y” over the phone.
Aga Czachowska was put on trial in the UK for insulting a man who owed her boss money under laws banning Brits from being “grossly offensive”.
The judge in the case ridiculed the fact that it had even been considered a potential crime, and let Czachowska go with virtually no punishment.
When the case was explained to him he said: “That’s an offence is it? Good heavens. To call somebody a p—y is impolite, it is not an offence”.
According to The Sun, Worcester Crown Court (pictured above) heard that Czachowska deployed the insult in an angry message left on the answering machine of “victim” Karl Smalley.
The two had been arguing over money – Smalley had just gone bankrupt, owing some £8,000 ($10,000) to Czachowska’s boss.
Czachowska told The Sun she insulted Smalley because he was trying to hide from her by having his wife answer the phone.
She said: “I left a message saying ‘You’re a f—–g p—y getting your wife to deal with your problems.'”
Czachowska ultimately pleaded guilty to sending a grossly offensive communication, but was given the most lenient possible punishment.
The judge, Daniel Pearce-Higgins GQ, gave her a conditional discharge — effectively a warning — and said “It’s unpleasant but not a criminal act”.
