A woman accused of posting antisemitic material on social media platform TikTok has been found guilty.

Fiona Ryan, 40, of Laverstock Road, Salisbury, had denied four charges of sending offensive communications.

She represented herself at Salisbury Magistrates Court on Wednesday, and apologised for the posts but denied they were antisemitic.

District Judge Timothy Pattinson, finding Ryan guilty of all four charges, said: "Any reasonable person would find all of this material featured in this trial grossly offensive."

Ryan posted the material on her TikTok account in March and April this year.

Sentencing has been delayed for a pre-sentence report to be prepared.
