A PWLLHELI woman who embarrassed a former friend by advertising Lady Godiva-style naked horse riding in her name has been ordered to do 200 hours unpaid work.

Erika Benedikta, 51, and the victim Alison Ramsden had shared a love of horses but their friendship soured about payment for a puppy, a district judge at Caernarfon heard.

Prosecutor Sheyanne Lee said in October the victim - who has a teenage daughter - was informed by the owner of a cafe at Morfa Nefyn that staff had found a leaflet advertising “naked bare-back riding” and suggesting the ex-pal was involved “in the oldest profession in history.”

A fake Facebook page had also been set up with a saucy picture of the victim on a horse although defence solicitor Michael Strain said his client disputed knowledge of it.

Miss Lee said, Miss Ramsden, 46, received a phone call, also in October, from an ex-partner who had a leaflet bearing her name and number.

The victim had been “disgusted, ashamed and embarrassed.”

Benedikta, of Pistyll, Pwllheli, pleaded guilty to harassing Miss Ramsden by leaving a poster offering naked horse riding and other services - purporting to be her former friend - at the cafe, leaving a similar poster at a farm, and sending abusive messages via WhatsApp to her.

She must pay £200 compensation and £170 costs. A three-year restraining order was also made banning contact with the ex-pal.
