PA stole funds for breast op

A LONDON PA who stole thousands of pounds from her employers to pay for a friend’s breast enhancement operation was spared jail yesterday.

Emily McMillan used corporate credit cards belonging to senior executives at global financial firm JP Morgan to fund the £3,500 procedure.

McMillan, 28, of Sudbury, Suffolk, also took money to pay for a girls’ holiday in Ibiza and to make a repayment on her brother’s mortgage.

The Old Bailey heard that she began stealing after she fell into debt through taking drugs supplied by a colleague at JP Morgan — where they were said to be “readily available”.

She was caught following a routine audit and later admitted four counts of fraud and one of theft, totalling £10,633.88, all committed between March and May.

Judge Brian Barker, the Common Serjeant of London, said the “breach of trust” would normally result in jail but he would make a “rare” exception.

She was ordered to undergo a six-month drug rehabilitation requirement and put on supervision for 18 months.
