He got a 2yr conditional discharge yesterday after being found guilty of defrauding an insurance company of £30,000.

Judge Samuel Wiggs told the court Ingram was a man who had already been severely punished as he had lost out financially and was on the brink of bankruptcy.

Ingram, who was forced to resign his army commission in August this year, appeared to be on the verge of tears as the sentence was delivered.


Tears of joy I would imagine.

It was hardly the crime of the century, he failed to disclose a previous claim on his house insurance and when he got broken into they paid out and then subsequently wanted their money back.

If they hadn't paid out they'd have simply rejected his claim.

I wonder if he hadn't been who he is, would they have investigated so thouroughly?

No it wasnt the crime of the century but I wonder how many of the other 11 insurance claims that he has made were fraudulant.

Thumbs up

Perhaps Judge Wiggs met Mrs Ingrams and felt sorry for him? (but, hold on, then why didn't he bang him up!)

Maybe not,but i'm glad they did.As someone who has never put in a fraudulent claim i'm glad the insurance world took this opprotunity to highlight the fact that freeloaders will be prosecuted,and hopefully in the long run,reduce my premium.

You may find that the judge had the same school tie as Ingram
