A Manchester woman allegedly went on a drunken rampage upon discovering that her husband was gay, according to the Manchester Evening News.
A Manchester city court heard that social worker Fiona Marsden, 45, had returned unexpectedly at the couple’s home in Northendon to discover her husband performing a lewd act in front of a web cam.
Marsden then drank multiple double-vodkas at the local pub and then drove her car into two parked cars on her way home. Local residents tried to stop Marsden from fleeing the scene.
Marsden then viciously attacked one of the residents, former deputy district judge Tony Broadley.
She apparently kicked Broadley in the groin and punched him in the face before being restrained by emergency services.
In court, Marsden admitted to assault, using threatening language and behaviour and careless driving.
Her defending barrister Jenny Callis said that Marsden, who was also taking prescription painkillers for nerve damage, could not remember anything after leaving the pub.
"The humiliation and shock of finding out her husband was gay in the manner in which she did was enormous," she said.
Callis also went on to say that Marsen was suffering from severe emotional distress, and that now she is in danger of losing her job as a social worker.
The Magistrate conditionally discharged Marsden, due to "exceptional mitigating circumstances". She was banned from driving for 18 months and had to pay £100 compensation fee to Mr Broadly.
Her husband is now living with his web cam lover.
