EX-DVLA WORKER DENIES OBSCENITY

A FORMER DVLA employee has denied putting an obscene word on a driving licence.

Siobhan McMurdo, aged 24, appeared at Swansea Magistrates Court yesterday charged with impairing the reliability of data held in a computer.

The offence is alleged to have taken place in May this year, but was not brought to light until the licence holder had to produce his documents while abroad.

It is alleged that instead of inputting "United Kingdom" in the area that lists the licence holder's place of birth, Miss McMurdo put "United C***".

"This lady was an employee at DVLA and entered information on to a licence," said the prosecution.

"The complainant had sent his licence in to be exchanged for a photo card licence, and the information put on it was not correct.

"It didn't read 'United Kingdom' but showed something alternative that was in fact abusive.

"This only came to light when the complainant tried to use his licence when he was abroad and subsequently a complaint was made."

The prosecution say that this is the only offence of this kind that the defendant is alleged to have made.

"There is no evidence to show there was a string of offences."

McMurdo, of Myrddin Road, Bonymaen, was told that her case could be tried at either the magistrates court or Swansea Crown Court.

She was warned that if she chose the magistrates court, she could still face the higher sentencing powers of the Crown Court, if found guilty.

The prosecution indicated it would be happy for the trial to be heard by magistrates, but the defendant elected to face a jury at Swansea Crown Court.

The case has been adjourned for eight weeks until a pre-trial hearing takes place at Swansea Magistrates Court on February 17 next year.

Miss McMurdo has been given unconditional bail until then.
