latest first- Psychic medium sentenced for fraud in Dublin Dishonestly inducing by deception (fraud) · Co. Dublin
Debbie Paget, 55, of Knowth Court, Ballymun, Dublin, a home carer and self-described psychic medium, was convicted of dishonestly inducing James Byrne to give her €10,000 by telling him his deceased father had told her he should give her the money. She was also charged with inducing his sister Maria Byrne to give her €200 but was acquitted on that count. A jury at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court found her guilty by majority on the €10,000 count after deliberating for just over four hours in May 2023. Judge Pauline Codd sentenced her to 18 months in prison on 10 July 2023, suspending the final six months on strict conditions.
