Former Ann Summers employee awarded €17k over false theft claim
A former Ann Summers employee, who claimed she had been publicly accused of trying to steal a French maid’s outfit from the erotica shop, has been awarded €17,000 damages for defamation of character.
The Circuit Civil Court heard it was a see-through parcel in shop assistant Michelle O’Neill’s shoulder bag that had led another member of staff to mistakenly assume O’Neill was stealing a maid’s black and white kinky outfit.
