She had tried to avoid a conviction by hiring a high-profile defence barrister, but wasn’t granted any leniency by the judge.   

Outside court, a tearful Michelle said: ‘I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep remorse, shame and humiliation [over] this incident and extreme lack of judgment.  

‘I would like to apologise to my family, friends and community for this gross error in judgment and the consequences of these actions will haunt me forever.

‘I ask for your forgiveness to my greater community and my family and I thank you for your support.’
