GRENFELL COUNCIL CHEAT BLEW STOLEN CASH ON 12-INCH DILDO!

Money was meant for survivors of fire tragedy

A COUNCIL boss who stole tens of thousands from the Grenfell Tower fund spent some of the cash on a MASSIVE DILDO.

Corrupt Jenny McDonagh, 39, used her role with Kensington and Chelsea council to nab pre-paid credit cards that should have gone to survivors of the inferno – and blew a staggering £62,000.

The ex-finance manager bought the £48 12-inch love aid from a sex shop, among a number of other “frivolous” items, said Judge Robin Johnson.

Isleworth Crown Court was told how she spent £51,400 on holidays to Paris, Iceland, Los Angeles and Dubai within the space of just five months.

Photos showed her dining in top restaurants – once spending £200 on a meal at the swanky Delaunay restaurant in London’s Covent Garden.

She also took a number of selfies to capture the moments.

Gambled

In one her hair was styled with “beach waves” as she wears her pricey green dress from Hobbs.

Another shows her enjoying a boat ride on the Thames Clipper.

She later GAMBLED £32,000 of the Grenfell money and managed to lose £16,000 of it.

McDonagh, from Abbey Wood, south London, also stole £35,000 from the NHS, where she worked previously at the Midway NHS Foundation in Kent.

Judge Johnson said: “While I have sentenced a number of the cases that have to be known as Grenfell frauds, and read about others, your offending is unique in my experience.

“As the finance manager to the Grenfell Finance Team at the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea you knew exactly what these funds were for and the importance of them for the victims of the fire.

“Bearing that in mind, the scale of dishonesty in these frauds beggars belief.”

Det Supt Matt Bonner said in a statement after the trial: “McDonagh is a serial fraudster with no compunction for who she targets.

“She knew she was taking precious funds intended for those who survived the Grenfell Tower tragedy, people who have been through the most traumatic experience imaginable.”

Screaming

The Grenfell Tower fire killed 72 people on June 14 last year. An inquiry began in May to investigate the cause of the terrible loss of life.

It is believed to have started on the fourth floor, before it quickly spread.

At least 350 people were thought to be inside when the blaze began and some were still trapped hours later.

Desperate residents were heard screaming for help and horrified witnesses said they saw people jumping from the building.
