Man admits to sending grossly offensive emails to Fareham and Waterlooville MP Suella Braverman

Jagjivan Ram, of Waste Lane, Balsall Common, near Solihull, appeared at Birmingham Magistrates' Court on February 18 where he pled guilty to two charges under the Malicious Communications Act.

The emails were sent on two separate dates in June 2024 to Ms Braverman which were describes as being “of an indecent or grossly offensive nature for the purpose of causing distress or anxiety" to the recipient.

Ram told District Judge David Wain after pleading guilty that he was “not aware in any detail why I was sending it” adding that “from a moral perspective, that’s not me”.

His defence, Ed Ball, said Ram had a “fogginess on what was what said” because of medication he had been prescribed.

District Judge Wain bailed Ram and ordered him not to contact the Reform UK MP prior to a sentencing hearing on April 22. The facts of the case were not opened by prosecutor David Devine and the content of the emails was not disclosed during the hearing.

District Judge Wain told Ram: “I give you no guarantee of the outcome but it’s important that the court knows everything about you so it can properly and fairly sentence you.

“You have not been in trouble for the rest of your life. I very much hope we can meet for sentence without any new allegations.”
